Solved; htaccess works in localhost but doesn’t work in EC2 instance

After Moving the files from localhost to EC2 Instance. While opening the application If you are getting 500 or internal server error, then we have to check htaccess file.

In AWS EC2 By default EC2 doesn’t have .htaccess enabled, you must edit your httpd.config to allow for it. Here I have mentioned the solution for htacces issue.

The steps are

1. Configure apache mod_rewrite, run in terminal. sudo a2enmod rewrite
2. Add this code in this file after closing VirtualHost tag /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf DocumentRoot /var/www
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
   
3. Restart apache server by command
4. sudo service apache2 restart
