Re: Web page works with "php -S" but not with apache

[Mahmood Naderan <nt_mahmood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the other hand, when I run php -S localhost:8080 and enter http://localhost:8080 in firefox (local on the machine and not remote), I get the following output

root@webshub:/var/www/html# php -S localhost:8080

PHP 7.2.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Development Server started at Tue May 29 22:56:54 2018

And that correctly shows the install page. So the question is, why I am not able to access the install page remotely?

2. No, that shows a directory, not a page, named "install"

I don't agree with that. As I said, if I use "php -S http://localhost:8080" then the page is correctly shown. That means the folder structure and files are fine and installer file is found

The question is why I can not access that from a remote machine.

Mahmood

The files are mounted as /var according to the fstab:

root@web1:/var/www/html# cat /etc/fstab | grep var

# /var was on /dev/sda5 during installation

UUID=c05e3e60-5916-4817-b8e7-f27a2681e42a /var            ext4    defaults        0       2

Form a remote machine when I enter http://w.x.y.z in firefox, I get the following error

The requested URL /install was not found on this server.

1. Note that you are requesting the default page http://w.x.y.z/(index.php), but the error message refers to http://w.x.y.z/install



On the other hand, when I run php -S localhost:8080 and enter http://localhost:8080 in firefox (local on the machine and not remote), I get the following output

root@webshub:/var/www/html# php -S localhost:8080

3. Check your error log to see what happens during your Apache request.

4. It would be helpful to know what package you are installing here. The user group for that package can probabaly help you.

Good luck.
