Answer 1

New apache version has change in some way. If your apache version is 2.4 then you have to go to /etc/apache2/. There will be a file named apache2.conf. You have to edit that one(you should have root permission). Change directory text like this

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted

Now restart apache.

service apache2 reload

Hope it works.
