How to get phpinfo to display info

🏷️ General
#1

Hi

I’m using Nextcloud version 22.2.3. I tried creating a phpinfo.php file which I placed in the root folder of the Nextcloud installation. When I try to access it from my browser - it does not show the information from the phpinfo file - instead I’m just seeing the normal Nextcloud.

I would like the information from the phpinfo file. Any idea how I should set it up?

The PHP version can be checked in the Settings/System overview. Do you need more?

#3

I would like to see the settings/modules/extensions. It would be nice if it was possible to see within Nextcloud - or an explanation how I could let it be shown temporarily without Nextcloud “hijacking” the URL.

Nobody having any idea how to do it?

#5

Where you created the file (ex info.php) you can just do php info.php on the console
info.php should consist of

INFO.PHP
<?php
phpinfo()
?>

this equals the output of

php -i

I would like to have it in the root folder of the my Nextcloud installation - so I get the information that applies to the website (I’m not that used to Linux/Apache). I will of course remove it when I do not use it.

The problem is that when i enter www.mysite.com/phpinfo.php I’m redirected to www.mysite.com/apps/files/ - I guess that there might be some mod_rewrite rules? Any idea how I bypass them for just this file?

I do get the info when I add the file in the main installation directory.
Obviously it’s a setting for you.

You can still get the values from command line

php -c /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini -c /var/www/nextcloud/.user.ini -i

Notice the PHP Version 8.1 8.0 or 7.x and the /var/www/nextcloud as installation directory.

I found the solution. In the .htaccess file in the root of the site i change i added the filename in the below part (I have marked it with ** in front of phpinfo and ** after
