There is a Bug in apache while using a2enmod, it doesn't make any
changes, so I am following these steps from last 1 year everytime I
reinstall ubuntu. May be they fixed it in new version. But these steps works 100%
Open terminal & follow this :
#sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
Check for these lines & change as I have done here : 
DocumentRoot /var/www/        <Directory />                Options FollowSymLinks                AllowOverride all        </Directory>        <Directory /var/www/>                Options FollowSymLinks                 AllowOverride all                Order allow,deny                allow from all        </Directory> Save the file & restart apache :
#sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

  • Yep, in addition to the above answer, one must add AllowOverride All to <Directory> tag in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file
