.htaccess RewriteRule is not working on my localhost

I am fairly new to php and RewriteRules, I tried to make localhost/webapp/sign_up.php point to localhost/webapp/sign_up. This is my .htaccess code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sign_up/?$ sign_up.php

but when I go to localhost/webapp/sign_up it says:

Not Found

The requested URL /webapp/sign_up was not found on this server.

I am using apache2 (Ubuntu) by the way and I am sure rewrite_mod is enabled.

In case it helps, my .htaccess is under var/www/html/webapp

Try this and let me know

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /webapp/
RewriteRule ^([a-z_]+)/?$ $1.php [NC,L]

And make sure the mod_rewrite module is enabled by running these commands

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart

And if all else fails please try setting a virualhost and after read this article about setting up mod_rewrite

I guess this will help more:

RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

It allows you to put the .php away everywhere
