laravel 5.6 and apache gives 404 for urls

I have apache2 server on Ubuntu 16.04LTS and I have Laravel 5.6 project called book_donation in /var/www/html now when I visit localhost the Laravel welcome screens appear no problem but whenever I click on any url it gives:

Not Found

The requested URL /book_donation/public/login was not found on this
server. Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80

and here is .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

and here is my /etc/apache2/site-available/000-default.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
    # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
    # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
    # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
    # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
    # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
    # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
    #ServerName www.example.com

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    <Directory "/var/www/html">
         AllowOverride all
         Require all granted
    </Directory>

    # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
    # error, crit, alert, emerg.
    # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
    # modules, e.g.
    #LogLevel info ssl:warn

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
    # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
    # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
    # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
    # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
    #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>

# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

My php version is 7.1 and apache version is 2.4.18, how to solve this?

    As stated in the docs, you should configure your web server’s document / web root to be the public directory.

    Create a new file /etc/apache2/site-available/book_donation.test.conf:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName book_donation.test
    ServerAlias www.book_donation.test
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/book_donation/public
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

    Edit your /etc/hosts file and add the following:

    127.0.1.1   book_donation.test

    Then run:

    sudo a2ensite book_donation.test.conf
sudo service apache2 restart

    Then you should be able to visit book_donation.test and see your site.

    I was facing same problem any new route was not working and gave 404 error. Also check php artisan route:list where new route details showing properly but still it was not working. I also tried following command to make it work

    php artisan view:clear
    php artisan config:clear
    php artisan cache:clear

    Here are my project details

    My DocumentRoot is /var/www/html/project/public. when add new route in web.php, it was nor working and gave 404 error but root route was working fine. Means any new route was working. so I did following changes and it start working.

    changed in /etc/apache2/sites-available/project.conf

    <Directory /var/www/html/project/public>

    **Allowoverride All**

    and enable url rewrite by running sudo a2enmod rewrite

    restart apache server by running sudo systemctl restart apache2
