Why do my laravel routes not work?

Hi, i just deployed my laravel project to digital ocean. The mysql database is correctly migrated and seeded (checked in phpmyadmin). I can currently surf to the homepage. But when i start going to other pages like http://-ip-adress-**/test ** it gives me a 404 Not found errorpage. After going trough some forums i think it has something to do with my apache configuration and the modrewrite rule. So i will provide all the files i edited to try and fix this :

**.htacess file in public folder : **

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /var/www/gloops/public/
   # change above to your site i.e.,  RewriteBase /whatever/public/

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

**apache2.conf file in /etc/apache2 : **
