Admin plugin not working

This is most likely a permissions issue on my server (localhost) but I cannot find the problem. Here is the admin plugin install:

MintMoFo grav # bin/gpm install admin

Clearing cache

Cleared:  /var/www/html/grav/cache/twig/*
Cleared:  /var/www/html/grav/cache/compiled/*

Touched: /var/www/html/grav/user/config/system.yaml

However I cannot connect to the admin section to create users
Selection_087

I checked and the “admin” directory does not even exist.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

This is caused by rewrite in your webserver not working properly, this this page: Grav 404 Fixes

I appreciate the link, but that did not solve the issue. The rewrite was commented out, and I uncommented it. Then
systemctl restart apache2
just for good measure… No dice.

Got it. The problem was in apache.conf inside of /etc/apache2.
AllowOverride for the directory /var/www/ was set to None. I changed it to All and problems solved. Thanks for the help!

Note: I did have to then manually install and override the Admin plugin, as well as the other 4 required plugins. That could be expected with the settings I had previously, not sure. Just want to help the next person with this.
