Enabling .htaccess file to rewrite path (not working)

All the tutorials tell me to edit the: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default but this file doesn't exist for me. Within this file I would have to edit the:

<Directory /var/www/>

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

AllowOverride None

#AllowOverride All

#AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options=All, MultiViews        

Order allow,deny

allow from all </Directory>

What should the file look like and should I create it myself?

Aslo I do have a 000-default.conf file but the above 'code' isn't in there either.

For apache version 2.4 and later, you have to go to

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

You have to edit that file (you should have root permission). Change directory text like this;

<Directory /var/www/>

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    AllowOverride All

    Require all granted

</Directory>

Now restart apache.

service apache2 restart

Hope it works.
