==Install/Enable Mod-rewrite in Apache==
In order to use mod_rewrite you can type the following command in the terminal:

  sudo a2enmod rewrite


Restart apache2 after

  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


or

  sudo service apache2 restart


or as per new unified System Control Way

  sudo systemctl restart apache2


==Allow Overrides so the .htaccess file works==
In case you are on Ubuntu, edit the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf(here we have an example of /srv/www):

  <Directory /srv/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    <span style="color:red;">AllowOverride None</span>
    Require all granted
  </Directory>


and change it to:

  <Directory /srv/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    <span style="color:red;">AllowOverride All</span>
    Require all granted
  </Directory>


Save the changes and then restart Apache so they take effect
  sudo service apache2 restart
