[Recomendation] include instructions for Apache2 configuration to support WonderCMS

[TheMagicNacho]

Issue: Ubuntu based LAMP servers create a 404 error upon initial instalation.
Discussion: The Apache Log will cite issues with the re-write engine. This issue is seperate from .htaccess and extends byond already posted instalation instructions.
STEPS TO RECREATE: Install LAMP on a new instance. Install WonderCMS. Direct browser to localhost/wondercms
Browser will show 404 error dispite .htaccess confingured correctly.

The issue is with the Apache2 config file located in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
The system administrator needs to locate their localhost directory within the config file and change
AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

This is what an example configured directory would look like:

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

Recomendation: Include steps to overcome issue within the troubleshooting steps in the wiki or include the configuration change in the default instalation instructions.
