"Installing Apache, My-SQL, and PHP on Linux - Web Hosting Guide
Articles News Interviews Host Library.htm"
for this I have downloaded Apache 1.3.29,My-SQL 4.0.20 and PHP-4.3.7
from the open source and installed successfully,
after installation he has give small example to test weather out
installation is correct or not.
when i run that example test.php is working properly when i kept the
this file at /var/www/manuals/test.php
so this is actually root of HTTP browser.If create my file and in my own
directory with some other place it is giving error on the browser"
object not found".
