Step 2: create a php page go to the "html" directory (default is /var/www/html): # cd /var/www/html/
and open a new file called "test.php" # vi test.php
write the following PHP code into that file and save & close the file with ":wq" <?php
Print "Hello, World! from php";
?>
Step 3: restart apache # service httpd restart
Now open a browser window and go to "http://localhost/test.php" or "http://127.0.0.1/test.php" or whatever your URL is. SELinuxIf You have SELinux enabled you have to make sure the security context of your new file is "httpd_sys_content_t". run "ls -laZ" to check the security context: # ls -laZ /var/www/html/test.php
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t test.php
If it is NOT httpd_sys_content_t you can restore the context with restorecon: # restorecon /var/www/html/test.php
