Suppose It's showing some Internal Server Error First, you activate ModRewrite feature:

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Here is what I try and that work for me

  1. Open file as

sudo vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

  1. Second

remove comment sign (#) AccessFileName .htaccess

  1. Then find the line where there is
    <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverrideNone Require all granted </Directory>
    replace "None" with "All"
    AllowOverride All

I found this on https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/61009/how-to-enable-use-of-htaccess-in-apache-on-ubuntu/61022#61022

 internal server error.

Means there is something wrong with the .htaccess file likely

Check /var/log/httpd/error.log it may give you the line. but it will tell you whats wrong
