Can't route to CakePHP Controllers with Apache

I have my own digitalocean droplet setup and followed this tutorial to a T to get Cakephp working

Setup CakePHP with LAMP Stack

Everything works exactly as written in that tutorial besides for ‘Step 6’ – Creating the Article user interface. (Books in my case)

After using the bake all command and navigating to `/books’ I get a 404 not found

Showing CakePHP works by navigating to top level URL

Showing CakePHP doesn't work after navigating past the top level URL to /books

As you can see CakePHP is setup and working at the top level URL, however when trying to move past that to a Controller that definitely exists it can’t find it.

    After some more digging, I found the issue. Apparently mod_rewrite is turned off by default on Ubuntu

    `sudo a2enmod rewrite
 systemctl reload apache`

    is the solution here

    Make sure your rewrite mod is On

    If you are using Linux goto /etc/apache2/sites-enabled -> open 000-default.conf file

    <VirtualHost *:80>
....

// add these lines
<Directory /var/www/html>
#Options FollowSymLinks
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
   AllowOverride All
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
</Directory>

....
<</VirtualHost>

    Save it.

    restart your server: sudo service apache2 restart

    give your project permissions by giving this command: 

    sudo chown -R user_name:www-data project_name/
sudo chmod -R 755 project_name/

cd project_name 

chown -R www-data tmp
chown -R www-data logs

chmod -R 777 tmp
chmod -R 777 logs
