On the Ubuntu server the database, web, and php seem to be working correctly.
I copied my php application from Windows 10 XAMPP environment to my Ubuntu into the correct directories.
Using the Firefox on another Ubuntu it brings up the first page correctly, but when it jumps to the next php code application I get a 404 can not find file.
I can manually get the page without problem. I must be missing something very simple. So can you help?
I'm not a Ubuntu guru, still learn all the ins and outs.

XAMPP has some error about ports I uninstall it but did not back up any information and now my project does not run on local host is there any way for me to restore my old project or I have to do it again on new XAMPP? another problem is after reinstalling XAMPP windows do not know PHP what should I do?
by the way I am a very beginner in this :)))
So, I will try to explain this:
Websites (i.e. with PHP) need a webserver. For example when you go to stackoverflow.com, you automatically call a webserver who then compiles the PHP scripts on the server to HTML code.
This principe does also apply to your local installation.
When you call localhost, you basically call yourself as the webserver. XAMPP is a tool that can "simulate" a webserver on your PC, thats why PHP sites do not work without it, because your browser doesn't know what to do with PHP code, it only understands HTML.
If you install XAMPP again you should be able to get it running.
If you have any questions/problems with the XAMPP installation, feel free to ask again.
I have a working wordpress site online, running on an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS. I've typically just edited the files via FTP, but I'm trying to get more organized. I'm setting up a development machine with VirtualBox running Ubuntu 16.04 (with Windows as the host OS) so I can experiment. I'm having trouble getting wordpress to load.
I've copied the website files into the VM. I have PHP 7.0.12 installed in the VM. I have the database copied over and it's running fine in the VM. I start the PHP server with
cd /path/to/website/public
php -S 0.0.0.0:8080
When I visit localhost:8080 from Chrome in Windows, I get a Page not found error in chrome. However, I create a public/info.php file with <?php phpinfo(); ?>, and then visit localhost:8080/info.php, I get the correct PHP info page.
I also tried configuring Nginx inside the VM like I have it on the real server. I get the exact same results as with the built in PHP server.
When I visit localhost:8080/wp-admin, I get redirected to the admin page of the live server.
Any idea on what I'm missing or how I might go about debugging the issue?
When move WordPress to another domain, Instead of directly copying Database, we have to use Database migration plugins or manually updating content on DB.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/
https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Changing_Your_Domain_Name_and_URLs
Then use this updated DB and copied files. That will solve your issue.
HI I am trying to configure IIS7 to run PHP on a windows 2008 server machine.
I have followed this guide, php running on IIS7
Everything went well and I am sure it was working!!
However now when I try and run phpinfo.php the browser wants to download the page rather than running the script.
The handler mapper is configured the same as the the example. fastCGI/CGI is installed and enabled.
a normal index.html open no problem.
I have checked permissions, created a new empty site apart from phpinfo.php
I developed the site on my pc in a xampp environment where everything work great. First time I have tried to convert a site from xampp to IIS.
Their is no entry in the MIME Types, I am wondering if the WEB.CONFIG file is the issue but I don't know enough about what the file should/shouldn't contain.
thanks for any help
you can use http://php.iis.net/ to install php into your IIS setup. It comes with a manager to help you easily implement php in to your iis server and is way easier then trying to configure it manually. Hope this helps.
I'm trying to update a site that's using php. I built the site and tested it on this machine. But today, the Php won't run on my local machine.
To test, I went back to the most basic php page I have:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
When I navigate to this file, in Firefox (28), the result is a blank page. (The page source shows just my code.) In IE 11, I'm asking whether I want to open or save the file.
Searching for my original problem (which was that my php code was showing up rather than running), it was suggested that php wasn't installed. I don't know how it would have gotten uninstalled, but I went ahead and installed it again (from http://www.microsoft.com/web/platform/phponwindows.aspx) and still no joy.
Windows 7 SP1
Updates in response to suggestions:
Pardon the beginning stuff, but I'm not primarily a web developer. (I do databases.) This is stuff I'm doing for an organization I'm involved in. I don't actually remember having installed/configured a web server in the first place, nor do I remember having installed php before yesterday (though maybe my son did that for me).
After seeing the replies here, I followed the instructions on this page: http://webmasterjuice.com/how-to-activate-built-in-web-server-windows, but I'm still seeing the same thing.
Update:
I've confirmed that IIS is running and the php was installed. I've followed instructions I found online for getting php working in Windows 7 with IIS. However, it still doesn't make sense to me to have to do this. I'm sure I didn't do any of this when I started working with php. I'm not trying to use my computer as a web server. No interest in working through localhost.
I'm creating the file in a simple web-oriented editor (Crimson Editor). Until recently, I could use the editor's preview function on a file, whether HTML or PHP, and it would run correctly. I'm baffled as to why this stopped working.
A few things to look for:
It's php running besides been installed? (obvious, but maybe it got killed by some reason)
Have you included the phpinfo() call inside a html document?
Obviously you named the file with a .php extension and saved it within the document root of the server..?
I'm starting a new project using Linux and PHP, but for the early dev state i'm now, I'm trying to use XAMPP for now.
I'm Running Ubuntu 10.04 x64 on a laptop, And got everything I need. The site I should build is based upon CodeIgniter and some implementation of smarty, but I think this is not that important because the same site runs pretty well on windows (with XAMPP )
The Problem I have is, if I put some php file on the root (like foo.php) with phpinfo() on it, the server parsed it as it should be, but when I try to get the url for one CodeIgniter app (as http://localhost/site/site.php ), Firefox tries to download the file & Chrome alerts some server error.
Again, the site as it works perfectly on windows (I share code using mercurial, if that's important)
I have around 3 codeigniter apps sharing the same System folder, and those get pickup by the loader (as site.php, admin.php...), but anyone I pick I still getting the same msg.
Also, the server list all the files perfectly, and tried to rename the file and then asked for the same (to see if the problem is cache or something) but I get a 404.
I'm also a newbie on apache and linux in general, I don't know what to do...
Check your apache.conf and httpd.conf. There are configuration entries called AddHandler which assign a module to each file extension which should handle this. If no module is provided the apache will send the file as plain text to the client.
