How do I remove index.php from the URL?

I have a project where everything on the website is routed via index.php and the way my app is designed, index.php can be removed from the URL safely. So, /index.php/inbox?from=23 can safely be converted to /inbox?from=23.
I need the rewrite rule (Apache 2.4) for doing so. There is a constraint though - I do not want to do it via .htaccess file, but from the host configuration file (/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf) only. On my development machine, I have the following:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Rules to serve URLs which point to files directly
# ----------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
But this is not working on the server. (I know that RewriteBase is not allowed in the configuration file itself, but removing it does not work either).
What should I do?

Hi!
Because you have an
<IfModule ..>tag, Apache will completely skip over that block if the Rewrite module is disabled without showing any errors or messages in the logs. Enable the module and restart Apache:
