OK, so I've been trying to get this set up for a couple of hours.

Once again I feel like I'm 99% there I just can't get the last 1%.

I followed these steps to install the packages...
http://strdoc.com/install-sshserver-apa ... min-ubuntu

I have connected to the MySQL server on my PC so I know that's working.
I have also connected to the apache server and edited the index.html to confirm I'm looking at it and I am.
I can also connect to the apache server from my laptop so I def know it's working.

Now, I'm not too fussed (at this stage) in connecting the web pages to the db but I would like to get the PHP working.

I've been looking at the W3 schools php stuff and may be being naive.

I have a file called index.php ...
Code:
<html>
<body>

<?php
echo "test";
?>

Hello world

</body>
</html>

...and when I browse to it I only get the "Hello world" bit coming through.

I've got further than ever before with trying to get this to work but I can't get the last 5%.

Is there something I need to do to get that last bit working?

WWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

It only fracking works!!!

I think the browser hadn't refreshed the file properly.

IT FRICKING WORKS!

Did you ask yesterday about moving the web root?

I moved my web root to /web using one of the config files, then chmod'd and chown'd it so that it's group matched my users group, and had read/write/execute permissions for said group.

LOL, yes I did :D

That was after I had manually installed Apache.

I then realised that you could install everything using the apt-get commands and it moved the root to /var/www so I just went with that.

I chmod'd it to rwx but didn't bother chowning it.

Just as a word of warning, and I know I regularly recommend w3schools (and still use them myself for things) but this makes interesting reading and is probably worth being a bit aware of.

Thanks for that.

Didn't know that about w3schools.

Will see if I can find an alternative PHP resource.
