Help with opening my php files

[Anon]

I've installed apache, and php on my linux server. I've made a simple little test program to see if it runs, and it does (just at the command line)... but how can I make it so my .php files will open up in my browser.

You have to put the php file underneath the document root of your apache server. If you installed from source, the default would be:

/usr/local/apache/htdocs/

and the default for the redhat rpms is at:

/var/www/html/

Place the test script there, then point the webbrowser to:

http://(Linux box IP address)/test.php

(replace test.php with the name of your actual file). If you are trying to see them from the linux box, after placing the files in the correct location, you can go to:

http://localhost/test.php

(again, your filename.)

Hope that helps!
