    var/www/web or /var/www/web?
    What do the log files show?
    http://blog.jdpfu.com/2013/02/11/lin...-101-log-files

    Is apache running? Are you using apache?
    Is apache configured to allow php?
    Is the DB running and you have specified the credentials correctly?

    I would expect these things to be mostly pre-configured during the install.

    Checking the log files is the first step for any Linux troubleshooting.

    Re: Lamp all installed added website folder but cannot access website localhost/web

    Thanks for the reply let me explain..

    var/www/web or /var/www/web - Yes this is where the website is stored in web and in that correct order of directorys

    Checking the log files did not work in terminal within root/su using
    $ sudo egrep -i ‘error|warning’ /var/log/*log
    Using Apache and is all working..




    Apache is configure to allow php i think its allowed and confgured with mysql

    Database all correct

    okay i am going to look into this php to apache config file could you point me in the right direction

    Thanks

    "It works" usually goes into /var/www by default, which is not necessarily the same as var/www.

    Do you see your website when you browse to localhost/web?

    The /var/www/web folder i have used also has other file in their such as phpmyadmin index.htmk and testphp.php i think this is the correct directory

    Re: Lamp all installed added website folder but cannot access website localhost/web

    Actually sorry i get this message

    I actually changed the folder name from web to icm so /var/www/icm

    just pointed browser to icm to get this message

    Server error

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



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

    Which user is running apache and do your file and directory permissions allow that user the needed access?

    Have you verified that Apache is configured to allow php in your /var/www/* area? The config files are usually under /etc/apache*/ somewhere.
