404 Not Found Error on every page other than index.html

I have my Apache server all setup with a domain pointing to its IP address. When I go to the domain it serves me the "It Works!" page. I have another page in the /var/www/html directory called page.html. However, when I type in is gives me a 404 Not Found error. And when I type , it brings me right to the index page which is the "it works!" one. I have no idea whats going on and I've been scouring the internet in search of an answer and I have come back empty-handed. My domain provider is Ipage if that is any help.

Try enabling mod_rewrite with sudo a2enmod rewrite.

You can also try checking any config files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and ensuring that AllowOverride is set to All and not none.

After either or both is done, restart Apache with sudo service apache2 restart.
