Newbie Question: Using PHP in Linux

[Friend_Al_23]

I just installed RedHat Linux. After creating a simple page with the phpinfo(); in it, how do I view it? Do I also go to http://localhost just like windows? Do I have to put the file somewhere else?

Totally newbie question. Never used Linux before.

I've never installed Redhat Linux before so I'm not sure on this, but in the linux clone OS's I have installed, there usually is a directory called "htdocs", which is where you need to put your web page files in order to view them from http://localhost.

Hopefully, someone with experience can help out here.

There isn't just an answer to your question! it varies from version to version!

Latest version uses /var/www, others may use /home/httpdoc, etc..

Search for them or just tell me your Red Hat version. After saving the file, for example index.php, just go to http://localhost/index.php.

If you have any further questions, just post them here, because I'm working with RedHat/PHP/MySQL for a couple of years!...

I think my version is 8.0 or 8.1. Not sure between the two.

In redhat 8 the default is: /var/www/html

This can be changed, of course, in httpd.conf file.
