Answer 1

You can change your .htaccess like this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

and change the value of " AllowOverride None " on /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (if you use AMI Linux)

into " AllowOverride All "

after that restart your apache with command like this:

sudo service httpd restart

It's work and tested on my aws ec2.

Answer 2

(if you use ubuntu)
Activate the mod_rewrite module with

     sudo a2enmod rewrite

and restart the apache

     sudo service apache2 restart

To use mod_rewrite from within .htaccess files (which is a very common use case), edit the default VirtualHost with

     sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Search for “DocumentRoot /var/www/html” and add the following lines directly below:

    <Directory "/var/www/html">
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

Save and exit the nano editor via CTRL-X, “y” and ENTER.

Restart the server again:

     sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 3

Justudin is correct!

Also you can use the " AllowOverride All " rule to only your project; writing in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf something like this:

<Directory "/var/www/your_website">
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Answer 4

Only you can use the "AllowOverride All" rule to all deployed application; writing in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf :

 <Directory "/var/www/html">
     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
     AllowOverride All 
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
 </Directory>
