#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/ sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 force-reload Now, a way to test your PHP installation is to put the following in a php file in your webserver document root (/var/www): <?php phpinfo(); ?> and open that file up through the browser: http://localhost/phpinfo.php This gives you all the information about your PHP installation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
