Check php information¶

Create the following info.php in your web server document root directory (/var/www/html on CentOS. /srv/www/htdocs on SuSE. You can find its location in httpd.conf mentioned above under the line starting DocumentRoot).

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Execute the following commands, using the appropriate path to your info.php file.

sudo touch /var/www/html/info.php
sudo chmod 666 /var/www/html/info.php
echo "<?php  phpinfo();  ?>" > /var/www/html/info.php
sudo chmod 444 /var/www/html/info.php

You will see comprehensive tables of php and apache information, including the location of the additional .ini files, extension, include path, and what extension is enabled.

Here is an example screen shot of the part of the info.php page that tells you where php.ini and other configuration files are. This information will be used while installing components of the Web Server.
