I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and I want to run php files.
I installed Php 7 on it using:
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/html
sudo apt install php
sudo apt install apache2
I created a php file (e.g. test.php) in /var/www/html. I can access it in the browser (e.g. http://localhost/test.php). Instead of executing the <?php ... ?> code, it is displayed as plain text:
I tried to turn short_open_tag to On. So I edited the /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini and enabled it.
Then I ran sudo service php7.0-fpm restart. This didn't make any change in the browser. The php code is still displayed as plain text.
How can I fix this?
You didn't install apache properly, doing an apt-get on apache2 does not install everything.
what #newman stated is correct you can follow that guide, or here is a digitalocean link that is usuable for production server (since you would do this on a droplet). Note this is full stack LAMP, which I would assume you would get to eventually when you want to dab with mysql

I bumped into this bit of instructions while installing an addon for a PHP framework:
Make sure you don't have the PHP module installed. This is a Debian/Ubuntu example:
sudo apt-get purge php5-geoip
I am working on Windows PC with a Virtual Machine running Laravel Homsetead. I am using Git Bash command window. When I enter the above command I get:
bash: sudo: command not found
If I remember correctly, sudo is an Apple-related command so I tried dropping it like this:
apt-get purge php5-geoip
but I get
bash: apt-get: command not found
What command do I need to use to purge php5-geoip?
EDIT: echo $PATH gives out:

This is kind of a n00b question, but I'm a much better developer than a sys admin.
Im setting up an Amazon Linux instance on EC2 and can't seem to get php 5.5 with mcrypt installed. yum seems to throw php 5.3 at me each time i try to do a group install or just as a dependency of mcrypt.
Any suggestions? This is for a Laravel 4.1 application.
Thanks!
If you are using amazon linux, you will need to install the php packages that start with php55.
Older packages are kept for compatability.
Since start configuring an EC2 instance can be tricky and indeed there is not much available support or documentation at the date I'm writting this answer, I'll post the steps I followed that worked for me. So I hope it will be useful to someone else:
Start an EC2 instance as described on the AWS documentation. Do not use elastic beanstalk for deploying your php app.
Start you PuTTY session, it is well described on the AWS documentation.
When PuTTY session is on, install in the following order: apache server (v 2.4), php55, php55-mcrypt, php55-pdo and mysql55
sudo yum install httpd24
sudo yum install php55
sudo yum install php55-mcrypt
sudo yum install php55-pdo
sudo yum install mysql55
Check your server properly working sudo service httpd start. If succesfully installed, you'll see 'OK' and you should be able to see a sample page in the public DNS.
Add a group in order to allow "ec2-user" modifying and writing files inside var/www/html
sudo groupadd www
sudo usermod -a -G www ec2-user
Exit PuTTY and reenter again (so changes will be applied) exit
Reconnect and check membership
groups
Modify permissions on writing and editing files
sudo chown -R root:www /var/www
sudo chmod 2775 /var/www
find /var/www -type d -exec sudo chmod 2775 {} +
find /var/www -type f -exec sudo chmod 0664 {} +
Test your server
echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
sudo service httpd restart
visit http://publicdomain/phpinfo.php. If properly working (it should) it will display the php info page.
All these steps worked well for me after hours dealing with php versions that are not compatible with laravel 4.1>=
I was struggling with apache2 already installed in ubuntu so I decided to return back to lampp..I have unistalled apache 2 mysql server and phpmyadmin.
The problem is that when I type sudo which php
I get nothing...
So I cannot request e.g. sudo composer create-project laravel/laravel.....
since php is missing for root user..
Although when I type which php I get /opt/lampp/bin/php..
Is it possible to make the root user use the same path..?
You can do this:
Switch to root user
sudo su -
Edit the .bashrc
vi ~/.bashrc
And add a new path to the current one:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/lampp/bin
I am trying to run a php file on a ubuntu linux server but get a 'command not found' error when i run "php file_name.php"
Searching online, i found an article that suggested I run "sudo aptitude install php5-cli" which I did and restarted apache afterwards but I still get this error.
How do I fix this?
Try this once,
Go to terminal.
whereis php
It will show where is php installed.
Export that path to environment variable using following command
export PATH=$PATH;/path/to/php's/bin directory
Then execute required file..
As follows,
php file_to_execute.php
first make sure that you've installed following packs:
php5
php5-cli
php-pear
like this:
sudo apt-get install php5 php5-cli php-pear
then make sure to configure php safely befor using it.
also make your php file executable ( chmod 700 )
Try the following step :
Open your cmd/console or press ctr+alt+t.
php5 /your/path/to/php_file_name.
I am newbie in PHP. I have successfully installed PHP on Ubuntu, now I want start my first program. I am using gPHPEdit as IDE.
Where should I save .php files that I create? And how to run/test them?
Make sure you have LAMP installed. Do a sudo tasksel and select lamp then hit enter, its gotta be the most simple *amp install ever made. Its a good idea to install phpmyadmin: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin. After that just copy the files to /var/www/ and then they will show up on http://localhost. I recommended using Eclipse PDT or the Netbeans build for PHP.
You should pick up a book or start following some good tutorials on the web.
If you are just scripting using php, you can save them anywhere and run the php on the terminal using the php command line interpreter.
If you are trying write web scripts (and I think you are), you need to install and configure a web server (typically apache) and save your scripts in the server's document root (typically /var/www). Also, I highly recommend you to read up a little about servers and HTTP and figure out how all this works on the inside before learning to building websites in php.
If you cannot save or copy to var/www/html, to run your php scripts on your browser. If you are using Ubuntu 14.04.
I followed these steps and it worked for me.
Execute sudo su on the terminal.
Enter your password
Execute sudo subl /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf on your terminal to open this file. Note you can change the subl to any text editor to open the file e.g sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf.
Change DocumentRoot /var/www/html to /home/user/yoursubdir
Save the file and close it.
Execute sudo subl /etc/apache2/apache2.conf on your terminal to open this file.
Add the following to end of the file
<Directory /home/user/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and Close the file.
Execute sudo service apache2 restart
Go to your browser, type the URL of your script e.g 127.0.1.1/directory/document.php.
I hope this helps.
remove the index.html file from /var/www/
$ sudo rm index.html
create a new php file there:
$ sudo gedit /var/www/index.php
write in it:
<?php
print_r(phpinfo());
?>
Restart your Apache2 Server :
$ sudo service apache2 restart
OR
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apace2 restart
and point to yout localhost and /index.php
if err arises visit : http://www.allaboutlinux.eu/how-to-run-php-on-ubuntu/
https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
this is an easy way to test your files in php.
$ cd ~/public_html
$ php -S localhost:8000
then you can go to your browser and enter localhost:8000/myfile.php.
