Ubuntu 14.04 can't find files

Question

I am using Codeigniter 3 and setup a virtualbox using Puphpet. I am usgin Ubuntu 14.04 and Apache2. I have finally successfully been able to access my default controller route when I go to http://ip_address/ , but when I try to access another page it says Not Found.

I have my shared folder mounted to /var/www. I have also verified that all of my files are located here.

Any idea why the default controller loads, but says not found for the other pages?

EDIT: the .htaccess file is located in the root folder (/var/www) this is the contents of the .htaccess file:

# MAKE SURE TO LEAVE THE NEXT TWO LINES HERE.
# BEGIN DENY LIST --
# END DENY LIST --

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|resources|robots.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
AllowOveride All

I have also made changes to /etc/apache2/sites-available/10-default_vhost_80.conf and /etc/apache2/sites-available/25-av_fv5lzxiyh2xc.conf

<Directory "/var/www">
    Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All 
    Require all granted   

    <FilesMatch "\.php$">
      Require all granted
      SetHandler proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000
    </FilesMatch>

  </Directory>dexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews

UPDATE: If I enter my url like http://ip_address/index.php/login the page is found if I enter my url like http://ip_address/login the page is not found.

Answer 1

I got it working by editing the default config file here:

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

And I added this to the default config:

<Directory /var/www>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All   
    Require all granted
</Directory>
