Answer 1

I am working on MacOS, following operation solved my problem:

I copied from : https://akrabat.com/setting-up-php-mysql-on-os-x-10-7-lion/

cd /etc/apache2

Give write permission the config file to root: sudo chmod u+w httpd.conf sudo vim httpd.conf

Find #LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

and remove the leading #

Find #LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so

and remove the leading #

Find AllowOverride None within the section and change to AllowOverride All so that .htaccess files will work.

Change permissions back: sudo chmod u-w httpd.conf

Restart Apache by running following in terminal:

sudo apachectl restart

Answer 2

change only .htaccess:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
