Mod Rewrite should be enabled for this directory. [Edit] the question and add the content of your virtual host configuration file. The default one is `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf`. — pa4080, Oct 04 '17 at 20:40

Modify your configuration file and add the following lines right after the DocumentRoot directive. Then restart Apache.

DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html>
    Options None FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

The directive AllowOverride All should allow all overrides by the .htaccess file for this directory. By default it is: AllowOverride None.

Still not working(I already restarted apache2) – TheBlueKingLP Oct 05 '17 at 13:29
@TheBlueKingLP: Is there exist `.htaccess` file, writable for Apache's user `www-data`? If not, try to create one: `sudo touch /var/www/html/.htaccess && sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/.htaccess`. – pa4080 Oct 05 '17 at 13:33
still not working... – TheBlueKingLP Oct 05 '17 at 14:11
@TheBlueKingLP: What actually should be happen? I've read a bit about phpbb and I think you should add your rules [manually](http://mrbool.com/how-to-go-for-apache-mod-rewrite-and-seo-for-phpbb-forums/25892). Isn't it? – pa4080 Oct 06 '17 at 07:30
