can i activate .htaccess with my ipaddress and not a domain name?
the tutorial indicates that i have to update
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf where example.com is my ipaddress
this doesn't work as it opens a new file.
i discovered the config file is 000-default.conf and making modification to this file doesn't solve the problem
i added the following to the block
<directory example.com="" html="" public_html="" var="" www="">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</directory>

Of course it does… That's what nano does when you ask it to edit a file that doesn't exist.

This is not a valid <Directory> directive. See:
