What do you mean can't be read? Is there a .htaccess in your WP directory if so what does it have in it?

You sure your php handeler serving through apache or is it serving through Nginx as Nginx doesn't use a .htaccess.

Are you looking to install WordPress on that VPS? If so, use GridPane, it's free for 1 server and feature-rich. You don't need to manage anything by yourself.

For other web apps, I recommend RunCloud. Managing everything by yourself is, in most cases, inefficient.

Make sure your filename really is .htaccess (with a dot). If .htaccess rules are badly configured, you should receive a 500 error. So in your case the file isn't there.

Weird, they don't advertise it anymore. Sign up for an account. It has a free plan for 1 server, SSL included. If you are willing to pay a bit, I use RunCloud. They will have a sale on Black Friday, I'd wait for that.

For WP though did you make the file manually? Because you shouldn't.
