URL rewriting using .htaccess - 404 error

I've set up a LAMP stack on my Raspberry Pi as a development environment for my website.

I am trying to implement URL rewriting to make my URLs prettier, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I have tried the following: sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and under the var/www section changed the line AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

I was getting a Internal Server 500 error, so I ran a command to allow the server to use the .htaccess file (can't remember the command now).

I also restarted the server and Raspberry Pi.

I no longer get the error, but when I look in the error log by using the command tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log I get a 404 Not Found error.

Here's my .htaccess file (it's really simple for now).

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f  

RewriteRule ^photography$ photography.php

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, and whether it is a server configuration issue or a programming error. Any help much appreciated.

Found the answer here: mod_rewrite not behaving nicely

Edited the line in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file to be:

Options -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks

Just, try this code :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^photography$ /photography.php
