Enable nice URLs / mod_rewrite for Apache web server

[WeddingDJ]

If you see index.php in the web browser URL path, IdeaSpaceVR won't work correctly and you need to enable the mod_rewrite module in your Apache web server.

1. Log in to your server.

2. Execute sudo a2enmod rewrite

3. Restart Apache sudo systemctl restart apache2 or sudo service apache2 restart

I have enabled the mod_rewrite as well as restarted Apache2. I still see the index.php before every file. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Heather

I got some help!!! It was an apache permission problem. Preview and publish are now working!!! A colleague found this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18740419/how-to-set-allowoverride-all

Below was the problem and answer:

In case you are on Ubuntu, edit the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (here we have an example of /var/www):

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

and change it to;

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

then,

sudo service apache2 restart
