Also make sure php is enabled by uncommenting the   LoadModule php5 module libexec apache2 libphp5 so   line that comes right after  LoadModule rewrite module libexec apache2 mod rewrite so   Make sure both those lines in   etc apache2 httpd conf   are uncommented

or defined by a module not included in the server configuration  Check to make sure you have mod rewrite enabled  From  https   webdevdoor com php mod rewrite-windows-apache-url-rewriting  Find the httpd conf file  usually you will find it in a folder called conf  config or something along those lines  Inside the httpd conf file uncomment the line LoadModule rewrite module modules mod rewrite so  remove the pound     sign from in front of the line  Also find the line ClearModuleList is uncommented then find and make sure that the line AddModule mod rewrite c is not commented out   If the LoadModule rewrite module modules mod rewrite so line is missing from the httpd conf file entirely  just add it  Sample command To enable the module in a standard ubuntu do this  a2enmod rewrite systemctl restart apache2
