Inside of your config you have the following:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
You should change it to the following:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
The AllowOverride
directive is what allows the .htaccess
file to be read. If you still have trouble, make sure you change this in the
<Directory "/var/www/html">
block as well (depending on where your site is located).
Hope this helps!
