Where do I put my Hello world PHP file on Ubuntu?
The document root folder under *buntu 14.04 is /var/www/html/
The link for your browser is then: localhost/FILENAME.php
The most voted solution didn't work for me. What I did to solve it was: searching directly in the root for the faq.html file that comes with XAMPP, and found that it was located in
/opt/lampp/htdocs
so there is where I put my files, and it worked perfectly. Cheers.
Pick a name for it lets use hello.php
for this example.
On Ubuntu the folder is /var/www/html
, NOT /var/www
. You will need root access for that. So you save the file as /var/www/html/hello.php
.
Open up a web browser and enter the following address:
localhost/hello.php
And BAM. There's you page.
