Magento 2.3.4 fails install

I have a completely reproducable failure sequence.  Please take a moment to view my video and review my notes.  I've been trying for months and I can not get Magento to install correctly.

Re: Magento 2.3.4 fails install

I finally got lucky to figure this out myself.  Coming across a list of possible fixes I was advised to check apache2 configuration to change AllowOverride from None to All

Here is the savior of text that saved my sorrow.

you just need to update the apache2.conf file.

On Ubuntu 16.04

  1. Open and edit the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
  2. Navigate to the place in the apache2.conf file *Directory /var/www/*
  3. Change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All"
  4. Save the file
  5. Restart apache2 -> sudo service apache2 restart
