A fresh install magento2.1, error 404 not found

Question

A fresh install Magento2.1, but there is "404 not found" error on every page except index.php and in backend.

Beside index.php page's layout is a mess.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I had these problem in ubuntu. You may try out these steps.

For front end

Move to directory install magento2. Use command in terminal:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy.

For admin side:

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    AllowOverride  all
</Directory>` 

was not present in the end of file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf before </VirtualHost>. Also make sure that mod_rewrite is enable by entering command:

a2enmod rewrite
