.htaccess rewrite file not found

I know that there are a lot of questions about this topic here, but I am unable to get my .htaccess to work.

Expected

All traffic should be redirected to /index.php using RewriteEngine

Result:

Using the following .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) index.php [NC,QSA,R]

I get the following error (using http://localhost/foo, should be redirected to: http://localhost/index.php:

The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

Server/Config

Output from ls in /var/www/:

drwxr-xr-x  2 www-data root 4096 May 30 16:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root     root 4096 May 30 16:57 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root   92 May 30 17:34 .htaccess
-rw-r--r--  1 www-data root    4 May 30 16:50 index.php

The configuration for the path:

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

Am I missing something?

First of all, since you seem to have access to the server configuration, there's no need to use an .htaccess file. Just add the rewrite directives inside your Directory directive.

The problem with your rewrite rules seem to be the difference between the Directory and .htaccess being /var/www, but your document root is /var/www/html. In order to find /index.php (note the leading slash), it must be located in the document root, /var/www/html and not in /var/www.

You can use the following with absolute target path:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index\.php$
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php [R,L]
