This is in the error logs : `Fri Nov 25 14:31:04 2016] [alert] [client 24.177.243.68] /var/www/.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

    Did you restarted Apache after enabling?
    When you tried to enabled rewrite, did you used sudo if you use non-root user?

    • sudo a2enmod rewrite

    This is correct output of command:

    Correct output - a2enmod rewrite
    Enabling module rewrite.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 restart

    As it said, it requires Apache to be restarted:

    • sudo service apache2 restart

    If you have some other output for a2enmod please post it here.

    This message usually shows if you don't have rewrite enabled.
