eBot CS:GO Apache 2.4.10 Mod Rewrite does not work

Question

I've successfully installed following webinterface: https://github.com/deStrO/eBot-CSGO-Web

I've configured the Apache vHost as shown:

<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerAdmin <email>
      DocumentRoot /var/www/ebot-web/web

      ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
      CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

/var/www/ebot-web/ looks like this:

I'm able to visit the web interface by opening http://hostname/ and the admin backend works fine. But at the frontend I've the problem, that all URLs aren't working. I always receive following error message from my browser:

404 Not Found - The requested URL /credits was not found on this server.

All URLs are linked like this one: http://hostname/credits

Well... The site is accessible, if I open it manually with http://hostname/index.php/credits.

I think there is an issue with the .htaccess file, but I'm not sure and don't have the needed skills for.

/var/www/ebot-web # find . -name .htaccess
./web/.htaccess
./lib/vendor/symfony/lib/task/generator/skeleton/project/web/.htaccess

Here is the content of the /var/www/ebot-web/web/.htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On

  # uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble
  # getting no_script_name to work
  #RewriteBase /

  # we skip all files with .something
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$
  #RewriteRule .* - [L]

  # we check if the .html version is here (caching)
  RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
  RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

  # no, so we redirect to our front web controller
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
 </IfModule>

I've uncommented the above lines as suggested, but it didn't changed anything. The web-server log is empty, also if I enable warn log level.

The issue is, that the "index.php" is missing in the URL. But the rewrite rule should insert this, or not?

The rewrite module is enabled:

# a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite already enabled

Can somebody help me?

Damn. I had to allow such changes by .htaccess in the vHost configuration. I've added this inside the vHost VirtualHost configuration:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ...
        <Directory /var/www/ebot-web/web>
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>
        ...
    </VirtualHost>

Now it's working well! :)
