If you are using ubuntu system then you need to enable apache2 mod_rewrite for your setup. Try this command

sudo a2enmod rewrite

You will get message like below:

Enabling module rewrite.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 restart

Now enter this command to restart your apache web-server.

sudo service apache2 restart

This should solve your problem. If the problem persist then you need to change apache config file (apache2.conf):

$ sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Search for model for your localhost root directory path. Web-server root path may very based on your apache installed version. It might be or . Its mostly like following:

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
 

Change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All. Save and close the file. Restart your apache web-server

sudo service apache2 restart
