lamp won't run `.php` files was creating or editing on windows

Hi there

When i create or edit some file like `index.php` with below simple content (on Windows) :

Code:

---

<?php
echo 'Hello world';
?>

---

Now, I want to run it on Ubuntu by lamp-server. Copied that `index.php` file on `~/public_html/`.
Finally trying below in Browser :

Code:

---

localhost/index.php

---

I get following error:

Server error

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost/home.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:

• Reload this webpage later.

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

But if i create that `index.php` on ubuntu with same content it works fine.

It's some weird isn't it ?

index.php is in var/www

I have changed www folder to `~/public_html/`
When i create `index.php` file in Ubuntu and put that in `~/public_html/` it works fine.

Thread moved to Server Platforms.

I find out the problem :)

Answer :

Code:

---

sudo chmod -R 755 ~/public_html

You didn't say what Web server you were using, but I'm assuming it's Apache (cuz of LAMP). Checking error logs helps tremendously. :p

Glad you got it sorted.
