Okay, so ive reinstalled my ubuntu OS, reinstalled the LAMP stack, ive restored the database and connected to it just fine. Ive checked which php modules drupal 8 requires and installed them, my version of php is above the 5.6 lower limit - i have not installed ALL of the php5-* modules in apt-cache though but i dont think thats an issue(?), ive set the chmod 777 . But now my /user/login kind of routes dont work, it just gives a 404. Have anyone experience anything like this, and how to solve?

I have looked at the clean_urls in my .htaccess, but drupal 8 clean urls should just work out of the box.

  • I would advise using a VM to sidestep all of this setup, there are lots out there ready to go for Drupal that are configured appropriately.

Okay so i went inside of /etc/apache2.conf and changed 

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride none
    Require all granted
</Directory>

to 

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

that worked :)

    Life Saver! I migrated Drupal from windows to Ubuntu and had the same issue. This solved it for me!

Did you check whether you have activated the mod_rewrite Apache module? According to the INSTALL.txt file for Drupal 8,

If you want to use Drupal's "Clean URLs" feature on an Apache web server, you will need the mod_rewrite module and the ability to use local .htaccess files.

  • mod_rewrite is enabled when i run phpinfo(), and i just found out that the clean urls actually work, as in: mydrupal/index.php/user/login ... so i have a feeling its something about the document root, im not really an expert on that area to say the least though.
