Checking the install

After installing Apache and PHP try this minimal PHP script. It will show some of your server's web environment information.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save it in the Apache document root as phpinfo.php. If you installed XAMPP in Windows then your document root is C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs. My Linux default document root is/var/www/html. If you can't find it search and ask for help in the forum.

To watch the output of the phpinfo.php script type in your browser's address bar:http://localhost/phpinfo.php. If you installed Apache in a machine other than your desktop then replace localhost with the IP address of the server. My server IP address is 10.1.1.103 so i type in the address bar: http://10.1.1.103/phpinfo.php. If you already have a public web server with an assigned domain type: http://example.tld/phpinfo.php"
