pretty url not working on laravel5.2 - php

Question

It seems that pretty URLs are not working for me. I have tried every thing I know, when you try http://wasamar.com.ng/login it gives a response of 404 Not Found but http://wasamar.com.ng/inde.php/login is ok, I have edited my public/ directory's .htaccess file to this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
This is the /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
ServerName wasamar.com.ng
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wasamar/public
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

It's probably because your apache rewrite module is not enabled. To enable the rewrite module on a Ubuntu machine:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
If a2enmod is not available on your platform, you need to open up your httpd.conf file and uncomment the line including rewrite_module. That's something like this on a macOS machine:
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
Then you need to restart the service.
Also, for htaccess files to be effective you need to set AllowOverride directive to All. Here's an example:
<Directory "/absolute/path/to/webserver/root">
# ...
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All
# ...
</Directory>

thanks everyone for the support but i saw my error, in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file i did not add the AllowOverride All section the dirctory tags, when i fixed that it worked.
