[root@linuxhelp ~]# netstat -tulpn | grep httpd
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      1414/httpd

Change the directory to Apache’s Document Root directory to create a file for viewing the php settings

[root@linuxhelp ~]# cd /var/www/html
[root@linuxhelp html]# vim info.php
 <?php
phpinfo();
?>

Restart the service of Apache

[root@linuxhelp html]# systemctl restart httpd

Open the Browser, Enter the url followed by the info.php

PHP Configuration Test On Nginx:

Enable the service of php-fpm.

[root@linuxhelp html]# systemctl enable php-fpm
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/php-fpm.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/php-fpm.service.

Start the service of php-fpm.

[root@linuxhelp html]# systemctl start php-fpm

Edit the configuration file of PHP

[root@linuxhelp html]# vim /etc/php.ini
cgi.fix_pathinfo=0

Modify the configuration of php-fpm as follows:

[root@linuxhelp html]# vim /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
user=nginx
group=nginx
listen.owner=nginx
listen.group=nginx

Change the directory to nginx customised Configuration file

[root@linuxhelp html]# cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/

Create a virtual host named php.conf

[root@linuxhelp conf.d]# vim php.conf
server {

listen 8989;
server_name 192.168.7.229;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.php;
 location ~* \.php$ {
      fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
      include         fastcgi_params;
      fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
      fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Change the directory to Nginx Document root directory to create a file to view the php settings

[root@linuxhelp conf.d]# cd /usr/share/nginx/html
[root@linuxhelp html]# vim info.php
<?php
Phpinfo();
?>

Restart the service of php-fpm

[root@linuxhelp html]# systemctl restart php-fpm

Test the Configuration of nginx

[root@linuxhelp html]# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

Restart the service of nginx

[root@linuxhelp html]# systemctl restart nginx.

Open the browser and enter the servername with its appropriate port number followed by info.php

With this,PHP Configuration Test on Apache And Nginx Web Servers in CentOS 7.6 comes to end.
