I have installed WordPress from one click installation. I have enabled mod_expires and mod_headers. Now when I am trying to add mod_expires rule in .htaccess file, I am getting 500 server error.
error.log file says: /var/www/.htaccess: ExpiresActive not allowed here
What should I do now ?

Take a look at <a href=“http://serverfault.com/a/98159”>http://serverfault.com/a/98159</a>. <br> <br>You need to edit your virtualhost config and set <code>AllowOverride</code> to <code>All</code>.
I am having the same problems when trying to add mod_expires to my .htaccess file.
I used the one click install so I don’t appear to have a Virtual Host set up for my domain. It just sits in /var/www and there is no virtual host config file. Am I safe to follow these instructions to set one up or do I need to do something differently? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts
