[SOLVED] Run PHP file

Huamin · 05-20-2015, 12:53 AM

Hi,
Is there one example to run PHP page on RedHat?

j-ray · 05-20-2015, 03:30 AM

There must be a webserver like apache running and it has to be setup with php.

I can give you an example page:

//Start of file
<?php

phpinfo();

?>
//End of file

Save this as
info.php
in the directory where the webserver looks for files (the DocumentRoot) and call in your browser

http://localhost/info.php

You can find the DocumentRoot of your server in the config file of the server. If that is apache2 then look at
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
or
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

or similar.

Hi,
I do not see 2 .conf files within

/etc/apache2/

If you see 1 of them take it.

Thanks. How to resolve this?
[root@CentOS65x64 ~]# cd /etc/apache2
-bash: cd: /etc/apache2: No such file or directory
[root@CentOS65x64 ~]#

CentOS document root is /var/www/html. If you installed apache and php using yum then no need to mess with the config files to test your file.

Thanks. Where should I save the .php file, to be able to further refer to it like

http://localhost/info.php

?

Save the file to /var/www/html. Permissions should be set to 644.

Habitual · 05-22-2015, 10:19 AM

Code:

vi /var/www/html/info.php

and add

PHP Code:


			
<?php



phpinfo();



?>

save and exit or exit with save.
Perms:

Code:

chmod 644 /var/www/html/info.php

run it:

Code:

php -f info.php

or http://localhost/info.php

Also, apache installed from yum on centos puts the configuration files in /etc/httpd, not /etc/apache2

schneidz · 05-22-2015, 11:58 AM

is apache running ?:

Code:

sudo service httpd status

Many thanks all.

Sorry, what do I get this
[root@CentOS65x64 ~]# php -f info.php
PHP Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in /root/info.php on line 7
[root@CentOS65x64 ~]#

due to the last line of these codes

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "user1";
$password = "????";
$dbname = "db1";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
...

why?

j-ray · 05-23-2015, 06:11 AM

Hope this helps
yum install php-pdo php-mysqli

+ restart the server
