On the file, find the location on file which says:

<Directory /var/www/>    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks    AllowOverride None    Require all granted
</Directory>

and replace that with:

<Directory /var/www/>    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks    AllowOverride All    Require all granted
</Directory>

sudo a2enmod rewrite
