I'm new to Digital Ocean & Ubuntu, in the midst of migrating from Exabyte shared server's Codeigniter (v3) website to Digital Ocean server

Server details/installation :

Digital Ocean Droplet - Ubuntu LAMP on 16.04
Apache - Apache/2.4.18 ( Ubuntu )
PHP - PHP 5.6.30-10+deb.sury.org~xenial+2 (cli) 
Webmin - version 1.831

Codeigniter setup

Codeigniter website is already configure on removing index.php from url and it's working fine on shared server, but not working fine on Digital Ocean's server...

Problem on mod_rewrite

When I uploaded all my codeigniter files to Digital Ocean, then I browse sample.com, it's working fine.

but when I browse sample.com/about it will prompt me The requested URL /about was not found on this server.

but when i do browse sample.com/index.php/about it works fine.

I'd try modify apache2.conf at webmin > servers > apache webserver > global configuration > edit config files :

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Whether I modify AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All ( i did reset apache ) the site still not working good...

Webmin > Servers > Apache Webserver > Virtualhost: enter image description here

allow mod_rewrite via ssh command:

a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart

May I know how do I modify the ubuntu server and able to browse my codeigniter framework normally with sample.com/about

Did I setup virtualhost wrongly using Webmin's method?

Do I need to install any third party module to make it work? or enable any configure in Digital Ocean?

thanks alot!

Once I added a virtual host via webmin,

I will need modify sites-available .conf and add these codes to wrap inside my domain's <Directory> :

Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
