Run a PHP file in an EC2 instance

Question

I created an EC2 instance and use the command line interface to connect to it.

I created a HTML page in the /var/www/html for testing purpose. When I enter my public DNS (taken from my ec2 AWS console) in the Browser, my HTML content is successfully displayed.

I would like to host a PHP file in the EC2 instance which I want to run from java code. The PHP file is in the location "/opt/app/current".

When I enter the public DNS, it successfully displays the HTML page, but the PHP code is not present there nor has it run and updated my database.

I am not sure if I am missing any steps.

Answer 1

您需要将httpd服务的主要配置文件上的文档根目录从/ var / www / html更改为/ opt / app / current（/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf-对于Amazon Linux，Redhat，Centos）

Answer 2

Which server are you using? seems it is Apache first try to check if you Apache configuration is ok

You can easily validate you config by using

apachectl configtest

apachectl -t

or even better:

apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS

After that you should be able to understand what is wrong, algo you need to check your apache logs probably there you can found more details
