Ok correcct me if I am wrong as I am a linux newbie

Os= Fedora Core 1

to start these programs I log in as root

go to terminal type

service httpd status = to check if it is on or off
service httpd start = to start it if it is off

service mysqld status = to check it
service mysqld start = start it

php = ???? how do i start this ?

next question is, can i add these in a start up file somewhere to do it for me when the computer is turned on ?

and final question now that they are on how do i use them ?

mod_php gets loaded by httpd, you don't have to do it manually.

search for information on runlevel, sysv init etc.

try creating a file info.php

PHP Code:



<? 
php phpinfo(); 
 ?>

put this in your web directory and point your browser to it. It will print out all your PHP environment variables for you.
