What Version Of X-x-x-x Are You Running?

[D9r]

What version of Apache are you running? Perl? PHP? MySQL? etc, etc, etc.
Every time I go to find the answer to a question like this, the answer completely eludes me. I know it's posted somewhere on the forum, but I can never find it -- why make me work so hard to get basic information? It would be helpful to post the info in the FAQs or somewhere else directly from the homepage. Thanks.

OK, I found the answer and am posting it here for easy reference. It would be nice though to have something like this linked to from the homepage.

Apache:
Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix)

PHP 4.3.9 (cli)
Zend Engine v1.3.0

mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.17, for pc-linux (i686)


We're working on upgrades to bring Apache to v2.0 ... testing is not yet complete. There's no significant user benefit to 2.0 at this time, so testing is slower than normal. New servers (>www25) built with Fedora Core or CentOS may have this

We're working on upgrades to bring php to v5 ... da operability is not yet tested. This is the latest release prior to 5.0

You can easily find the version of the programs installed on the server with a php page.

Create a page called phpinfo.php (or whatever you want to call it) and put this code into it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and put it onto your web server. Then load that page in your browser. It will display most of the version and config information that you may need.

skidawg's answer is the best one. Versions are changing constantly. There have been patches installed to each server over a dozen times in the last 3 weeks, and some components have changed an average of more than once a week. Expect that Joe will keep you informed about major updates, but the vast majority of HostPC clients don't need to know when a minor component is updated.
