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.

I am running Ubuntu 16. I am fairly new to web design but I have set up a LAMP server on my Ubuntu machine and installed WordPress site. I wanted to try to mess around with PHP so I tried to install myphp.
I managed to do this and I realized that I had to install nginx also.
I did this, but my local host always diverts to a message "welcome to Nginx"
I tried to edit the configuration files but could not get it to work?
Is there a guide for installing Nginx and myphp to see phpMyAdmin, after you have already set up a WordPress site?
Like I said I am running Ubuntu 16.04.
You may need to delete the index.html file from the web root. The index.php file should remain.
On Ubuntu+nginx go to html directory using following command
cd /var/www/html/
then find out following index.nginx-debian.html and delete it or edit it as you want
To edit these file open into you editor or use Ubuntu default editor nano.
sudo nano /var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html
To delete these file run following command.
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html
these is the defautl nginx welcome page that why it appear after install, for more information check nginx default configuration file using following command.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Thanks
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
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04
I an trying to get my Laravel site running on Digital Ocean. My laravel app is static so no SQL is used and I developed it locally with Homestead.
I can get the site showing the home page on IPaddress /public. It won't link to any pages though. I am guessing it is some rewrite problem I am having. I want to get rid of the /public and get it linking to other pages. Then worry about making it work on a domain
I followed PHPAcademys Cloud Server Set-up tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-ok9d_6xrc
The only difference is I used UBUNTU 14.04 x64. While following the tutorial I found I had a html folder inside /var/www. I needed to put my app within the html folder.
Code setup
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache 2
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt
I didnt use mysql because i dont need it for this app. Its a static site with laravel.
It said mcrypt was needed so I used
sudo php5enmod mcrypt
sudo service apache2 restart
Then I was getting an exception handler error, so i fixed that with
chgrp -R www-data /var/www/html
chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/app/storage
You need to setup an apache2 virtual host
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
sudo nano myapp.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myapp.com
ServerAlias www.myapp.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/myapp/public"
<Directory "/var/www/html/myapp/public/">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
exit nano
sudo a2ensite myapp.conf
sudo service apache2 restart
First go to your virtual host file which can be found on
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default.conf
I am not very sure about the path because I have been using nginx for so long. Anyways locate the conf file and change your root directory to something like
/var/www/html/public
rest all looks fine to me if that doesn't work chmod 777 app/storage
I am accessing one system with ipaddress 192.168.1.41 as a server. In this system has one HTML file which is located at path opt/openerp/apache/htdocs/index.html. Now how can I access the html file in my local system browser ?
I tried with 192.168.1.41/index.html but it does not work.
Can anyone help me how to access the file in my local browser
Put index.html in /var/www/ and try opening with the browser 192.168.1.41/index.html. First check apache2 is installed
Steps -
1. sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/site_name
2. Change the default document root and directory directive in the new file to new location.
3. sudo a2dissite default && sudo a2ensite mysite [deactivate old site and activate new site]
4. sudo service apache2 restart
I am new to Ubuntu Linux (version 13.10). I am following this tutorial to install MySQL, PHP, and Apache2.
It installed successfully, but I don't know where to write PHP files that execute when you navigate to the URL localhost/example.php.
I am looking at this link, but I am afraid that maybe it will not work and have to reinstall Ubuntu again.
In a newer version should be in a different path: /var/www/html
With a series of commands you can find:
ls /etc/apache2/sites-available/
That answers with something like
000-default.conf default-ssl.conf
In this case you need the second file default-ssl.conf; with
grep -n -e "DocumentRoot" /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf
you can obtain:
5: DocumentRoot /var/www/html
That means you can find (and change) DocumentRoot definition in the 5-th lines of the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf.
As a simple Google search would have showed you, it's (by default), /var/www/.
In the Ubuntu default config, that is defined in the default virtual host, the config file for that is /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
The default location of document root is /var/www. This, assuming you haven't touched the HTTPd configuration.
By the way, if you simply need a development server for PHP scripts, you can use the one emebedded in PHP > 5.4. Just cd to the project directory and launch:
php -S localhost:8008
In vscode (I'm sure in other editors as well) you can right click the file and copy path and copy relative path.
http://127.0.0.1:8000/site.php
Works for me.
