How do you access regular controllers?

ok the Url which i was trying was not correct. I tried this url http://localhost/~user/restapi/web/user/index and i got this error

Not Found

The requested URL /~user/restapi/web/user was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

Do you have clean URLs configured and enabled?

    'enablePrettyUrl' => true,

    'enableStrictParsing' => true,

    'showScriptName' => false,

    'rules' => [

        ['class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule', 'controller' => 'user'],

    ],
