htaccess RewriteRule无法正常工作

Question

I have this code in my .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?link=$1 [L]
</IfModule>

And I am getting 404 although I can acces it with non-pretty url like this index.php?link=somepage

My full url is http://www.website.com/subfolder/index.php?link=somepage

I have Apache 2.4.18 on Ubuntu 16 and mod_rewrite module is loaded.

Update

Also when I try with this:

RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Then I can access it with http://www.website.com/subfolder/?link=somepage
So this way it works when just removing index.php

Is it possible that some additional configuration has to be set on server?

This was a server issue including mime types and multiviews.

It's not really issue for stackoverflow but if someone runs into same problems here are sources that solved this problem:
