Dear all,

I am working on ubuntu 8.1

I have loaded php5 and apache2 and mysql. Mysql is working properly...but i could not execute my php codes(written with vi editor) in a browser.

I tried to execute the code in opera and mozilla. In opera(latest version) the browser is showing the entire code and in mozilla i am facing a pecular problem. When i first time tried to open it in mozilla the browser kept asking me want to save the file as or open it? Then i did something (i dont remember) now when i try to open the code in mozilla multiple tabs or getting opened(uncountable). I have to forcely kill the browser.

What to do? Here when i give localhost/php.info in mozilla address bar it is giving the following error.


Not Found

The requested URL /php.info was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-2ubuntu4 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80

in opera

Error!
Could not open file

You tried to access the address file://localhost/php.info, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.

you have to give the file a ".php" extension. If the extension is "info" the parser will not start his job and as the downloaded file doesn't have a mime declaration there will be a lot of problems processing it for the browser...

If the browser says "file not found" then maybe the file's name is different? Or you placed it in a wrong directory? Default document root is /var/www on ubuntu as far as i remember.

Rename your file to "info.php",
place it in the /var/www directory,
chown www-data:www-data info.php
and see if that works.
