Enable clean URLs without "index.php" - Optional

To force OJS to remove the "index.php" portion of all URLs, edit config.inc.php and set "restful_urls" to "On". 

sudo nano /var/www/config.inc.php

OR 

sudo nano /var/www/html/config.inc.php

Then enable the "mod_rewrite" module; 

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Then create the ".htaccess" file; 

sudo nano /var/www/.htaccess

OR 

sudo nano /var/www/html/.htaccess

Copy and paste the following; 

  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
  </IfModule>

Save and exit the file.

Then update file ownership; 

sudo chown www-data.root /var/www/.htaccess

OR 

sudo chown www-data.root /var/www/html/.htaccess

Restart the web server and lock down the config file

Restart the Apache2 web server. 

sudo service apache2 restart

Type the following to "lock-down" the OJS config file. 

chmod 0644 /var/www/html/config.inc.php
