Resume

---

a2enmod

a2enmod is a command that allows us to enable mods in Apache. So we will use this command to enable rewrite.

Just type a2enmod rewrite in the Terminal to enable rewrite.

vhost file

In some situations, we will have to add

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory THE_PATH_OF_YOUR_SITE><!-- Replace with the path of your site ->
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

to your config file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/yoursite.local.conf or /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf (If you have to modify 000-default.conf, the Directory tag should be <Directory />).
