[SOLVED] opening a php script

officerx · 09-24-2013, 06:47 AM

Hello I have been trying to run my php script on centos it doesn't seem to work I have installed lamp on my box.

I used develop on a wamp setting where i would just start the wamp service open up firefox and type localhost/(and the path to my directory of my php script) in the url box, but on centos it doesn't seem to work that way can some one tell me what am doing wrong and the solution to my problem thanks in advance.

I have already searched for solutions but they don't seem to work.

What is the problem you are getting? Does it show "unable to connect" on browser or you are facing any permission related problem?
Did you extract the xampp directory in /opt of CentOS?

When you start the LAMPP using command line

Code:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Have you seen the output carefully?

Is there any error like "Another web demon is already running".

You haven't provided enough information. Paste the output of above command as well as show what browser says when you open http://localhost in it.

When I type localhost in the url directed to a xampp page and when I type localhost(and the directory to the script I get a object not found error 404. And before doing all this I have already run the lammp start command

Ofcourse you have started the lampp otherwise you can not see the http://localhost/xampp page.

Have you put the php script in /opt/lampp/htdocs?

make a file test.php. Paste following content in the file and save it.

Code:

<?php
 
    phpinfo();
 
?>

Put the file in /opt/lampp/htdocs, now run following url in browser. What does it say?

Code:

http://localhost/test.php

Dude am sorry for being a pain in the ass. Tried to save test.php in the Dir htdocs but I don't have the permission to save the file in htdocs

Maybe something is wrong with my lamp settings ill remove it than download it again. If that fails guess am going to be developing on my windows os.
