4. Restart Server
Your server should restart Apache automatically after the installation of both MySQL and PHP. If it doesn't, execute this command.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
5. Check Apache
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/. You should see a message saying It works!
6. Check PHP
You can check your PHP by executing any PHP file from within /var/www/. Alternatively you can execute the following command, which will make PHP run the code without the need for creating a file .
php -r 'echo "\n\nYour PHP installation is working fine.\n\n\n";'
