All my content is currently setup as pages. I want to setup permalinks with page names. I read some posts online that said choosing %postname% path should render the content. But this does not work. When I access a page, I can see that the link is being updated with the page name, but it returns a 404.

I checked the .htaccess file and httpd.conf. mod_rewrite is loaded and access is setup with the right permissions.

My site is being hosted on ec2 aws.

Update: I just created a post and tested permalinks with it, the post also returns a 404.
