[TriLUG] Localhost web server

[Robert Berkowitz]

If you want to test that the server is configured properly for php find
the "DocumentRoot" directive in the conf file. Create a new file
(test.php) in that directory. In the test.php file put:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then go to http://127.0.0.1/test.php in your browser. You should see all
sorts of information.
