The mod_rewrite rule is not working on the virtual host.
I have wanted this for cakephp.
Is there setting to add in the virtual host file?
If you are using latest apache version 2.4+ then here is the process how to enable mod_rewrite.
Go to etc/apache2/
Open apache2.conf using your favorite text editor.
Change
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
to
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Then save it. Remember you should have root permission to edit and save this file.
Now restart apache.
service apache2 reload
This process will enable mod_rewrite for apache server including virtual host.
You can also check if it's enabled or not. Create a php script
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Load it from server. Under Loaded Modules section check if mod_rewrite is there or not. If it's there then it is enabled.
