Ubuntu – .htaccess file not running and internal server error

.htaccess14.04Apache2mod-rewrite

I am using ubuntu 14.04 and have LAMP environment. I have one of the project in dir /var/www/html/project1 . It can't access the .htaccess file for rewriting url rules.

For that i have to change in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file 

   <Directory /var/www/>
          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
          AllowOverride All       # change None to All
          Order allow,deny
          allow from all
          Require all granted
   </Directory>

But after this change my Apache server gives an error "Internal Server error"

And If I'll change 'AllowOverride None' then site is running correctly But .htaccess file doen't work.

I had the same issue. After searching a lot I have found that @Doug Smythies's way perfectly work for me. Up vote.

So I go to the terminal and run the following code:

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart

And that's it. Hope this will help others.
