Magento subpages give 404

Question

I just restored our Magento website on a different server running apache2 on ubuntu. The home page pulls up just fine but if I try to go to any other page, I get a 404.

Permissions

All files are 660
All directories are 770 All files and directories
All files and directories belong to the www-data group

Things I've Tried

check all the website and store ids
add /index.php/ between the domain and page path
clear temporary files

Nothing appears in the log files other than the standard 404 lines in the access.log and error.log.

apache2 .conf file

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin serveradmin@mydomain.com
    ServerName mydomain.com

    DocumentRoot "/var/www/default/"
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory "/var/www/default/">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
        php_admin_flag engine on
        php_admin_value open_basedir none
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

.htaccess

DirectoryIndex index.php

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
    RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
</IfModule>

AddDefaultCharset Off

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"

Php requires different permissions. Magento recommends the following:

find . -type d -exec chmod 775 "{}" \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 664 "{}" \;

Thank you. Giving more permission to the public doesn't change anything. If it was a permissions issue, it would have been a permissions error. Just for kicks, I changed the permissions to 775 and 664. No go. – eisaacson Oct 15 '13 at 18:56

Sounds like a problem with rewrites. In Ubuntu:

Run:

a2enmod rewrite
apt-get install php5-curl

and then:

service apache2 restart

mod_rewrite and php-curl will now be enabled!

I also added php5-curl to your answer. a2enmod rewrite got me most of the way there but I was still getting some curl errors. – eisaacson Oct 15 '13 at 22:35
