Potentially lots of reasons why this might be. Could be filesystem permissions (check the man page for 'chmod'), or it could be an apache configuration not allowing you to run files from that directory (check the Apache docs and/or website to turn on PHP file execution), it could even be down to something as simple as your browser config.

You could try changing the 'phpinfo()' call to one that does something much simpler, say 'Print("hello world")' or something like that to see what happens. You could even put in some html outside the php markers to see if you get that appearing when you run the page.

The best source of help to find out what is going wrong, though is to look in the apache logs, probably /var/log/httpd/... Try your request then look at the last few messages in your log. If you cant work out what they mean, we can probably help.

i get following log

127.0.0.1 - - [19/Aug/2009:02:19:19 +0530] "GET /crossdomain.xml HTTP/1.1" 404 324 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1"

because you didn't have the . in your URL.
htt://localhost/testphp

should be
http://localhost/test.php

also make sure the file is executable to apache user,
chown apache:apache /var/www/html/test.php
chmod 775 /var/www/html/test.php

i already done this but i again get the blank page

**meton_magis** · 08-19-2009

try executing it on the command line, it will most likely give you the error message relevent (I found blank pages to usualy be PHP errors). just run it in bash

/var/www/html/test.php

but you need the #!/usr/bin/php or whatever your path is to the php interpreter up top. OR run

php /var/www/html/test.php
