Deployment on the server

For a Linux/Ubuntu server running apache2 web server, follow these steps to deploy the site

• Enable rewrite module

sudo a2enmod rewrite

• Open apache configuration file at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
• Change the AllowOverride permission from none to all

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