I installed LAMP on my droplet and then I followed this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-mod_rewrite and I used the contents for the file from my old web hosting, so I know it works: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
However, if I enter for example http://cyan.red/index it comes up with: Not Found
The requested URL /index was not found on this server.

You know this command $ a2enmod rewrite is not mentioned in any DO tutorial, but without it I couldn’t enable .htaccess, now can, thanks
This thread was very helpful. It did the trick for me. Thanks to everyone! :)
None of this worked for me. What did work was to enable “AllowOverride all” in the apache2.conf file in /etc/apache2. For me it was on line 172 of that file. I tried everything else to eliminate my pages from giving a 404 when visiting pages but the homepage.
