How do I enable mod_rewrite for Laravel on my server?

Answer: Run the appropriate commands to enable mod_rewrite and restart Apache, then set AllowOverride All in your Apache configuration.

Enable mod_rewrite:

Run these commands on your server:

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Configure AllowOverride:

In your Apache configuration file, set:

AllowOverride All

Locations to Update:

• Virtual host file: /etc/apache2/sites-available/your-site.conf
• Main config: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
• Directory block: Ensure proper directory permissions

Example Virtual Host Configuration:

    ServerName your-domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/taskify/public
    
    
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    

Verification:

Check if mod_rewrite is enabled:

apache2ctl -M | grep rewrite

You should see "rewrite_module" in the output.
