Why can't Apache2 look outside /var/www/html/ for a PHP file?
The Next CEO of Stack Overflowphp change uploaded file ownerUbuntu - Is it normal that my apache webroot is in html directoryCannot create file in /var/www/htmlHow can I give SublimeText write permission for /var/www?I'm getting this “You should replace this file (located at /var/www/html/index.html)” after update to v14.4 ubuntuphpmyadmin installed but the page not rendered correctly by phpHow do I properly make a symlink for /var/www/html while keeping both security and function in mindIs it safe to have permission to create files in var/www/html?Can't access web folder after typing a chmod command (error 403)Can hackers inject anything to the server outside /var/www/html
I have just started to learn about the whole deal of PHP, MySql, and it's connections to front-end development. While doing this I found that I cannot execute a PHP file unless and until it is inside the /var/www/html directory. I have found out about this solution from multiple sources including askubuntu, but I could never find the reason as to why this is so. So does this mean that a PHP file always has to be inside this specific directory? Can I do anything to make a PHP file inside say, my Documents folder to run successfully instead of being "Save"-ad by Mozilla?
Please help.
