Hello Sir,

Thanks for the support. I tried this one. But it doesn't worked. I can open html files but i can't open php files. I think there might be some error in php installation. Is there any guide for php installation into edison. Or any other way to come up. Thanks again!!

Hi Arunkumark,

I found this thread: https://communities.intel.com/thread/109273 https://communities.intel.com/thread/109273, there is a guide to build PHP from source. It looks that there are some features that are not included in the standard build of PHP.I hope you find this helpful.Have a nice day.Regards,Leonardo R.

So what issue I faced is I installed apache2 and php. And I tried to run php scripts. It doesn't worked. Later I found that to run php files with apache2, you need to install modphp - a php module designed to work with apache2.

What I did:

opkg update

opkg install apache2 modphp

Now php is working in browser. No need to build php from source if this worked.

Hope this will be helpful.

Thanks.
