By default, Apache does not allow the use of ‘.htaccess’ file so you will need to edit the configuration of virtual host file by adding the following code:
Enable .Htaccess File Ubuntu
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
For instance, you can edit the default virtual hosts that ships with Apache using a nano editor by typing the command below:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
copy-paste the above text just before the ‘</VirtualHost>’ closing tag. Remember to save the file
Then, restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
