Answer 1

After adding

AllowOverride All

to the vhost configuration, got it working. Probably the default configuration wasn't allowing the redirects?

Here's my final (and working) vhost configuration:

DocumentRoot /var/www/sitefolder/public
 ServerName site.domain.com
 <Directory /var/www/sitefolder/public>
  AllowOverride All
  allow from all
  Options +Indexes
</Directory>

Answer 2

For VirtualHost

Only add these lines into httpd.conf of your apache:

<Directory /var/www/sitefolder/public>
  AllowOverride All
  allow from all
  Options +Indexes
</Directory>

Or you can replace the first line with:

<Directory />

And if all doesn't work, you can try:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Answer 3

The problem might come from a module in your Apache server called rewrite module. in windows you can just uncomment this line from your httpd.conf

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and enabled it using

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Try these with an Apache restart. It might work for you as well.
