cakePHP URL rewriting not working in Ubuntu

Posted on March 15, 2015

I recently installed a new droplet and followed the tutorial on the site for the installation of cakePHP on Ubuntu. I have confirmed that i have the url rewrite module in apache2 enabled (shows as shared in terminal), but when I go to my site I get a warning that URL rewriting is not properly configured. Any help would be appreciated.

This question was answered by @lancasterjones:

What did the trick for me was modifying the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf 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>

Reload apache after you modify it.
