//install/license is 404 on remote server, works on localhost

[d4goxn]

When visiting the site, after running the composer install, everything looks good. However, the "next" link, to //install/license returns a 404 Not Found response.

I have ensured that permissions are correct for files and directories in the entire repo:

chown www-data:adm . -R
chmod g+rw . -R
find . -type d -exec chmod a+x {} +

This is with the Newscoop tagged release 4.4.7.

The strangest thing is, this works fine on localhost. It is only the remote server that this goes wrong.

Everything is installed using Ansible, on an Ubuntu 16.04 server; if it helps, I have posted the playbook in a gist, at https://gist.github.com/d4goxn/9099d2b65b92136a387ab7ccf3e3fb46

Did you try to add AllowOverride All directive?

Example:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        <Directory /var/www/Newscoop/newscoop>
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

That was it, thanks. I missed the entire <Directory> clause in the expert instructions.
