To enable the mod_rewrite module on your Droplet, you can follow these steps:
Connect to your Droplet via SSH:
sh
ssh root@your_droplet_ip
Enable the mod_rewrite module:
sh
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Restart Apache to apply the changes:
sh
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Update your Apache configuration to allow .htaccess files to override settings:
Open the Apache configuration file for editing:
sh
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Find the <Directory /var/www/> section and change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All:
apache
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save the file by pressing CTRL+S and exit by pressing CTRL+X.
Restart Apache again to apply the configuration changes:
sh
sudo systemctl restart apache2
This will enable the mod_rewrite module and allow .htaccess files to override settings in your Apache configuration.
