I'd want to know the difference between XAMPP installation against installing the Apache, MySQL and PHP on Linux. A customized CMS that we are trying to implement is working fine with XAMPP, but isn't working on a Linux machine (where Apache, php and mysql were installed individually. We have verified that php files work, but CMS isnt working').
Is/are there any modules/files that XAMPP provides that is missing in individual installation?
Appreciate any inputs on this issue.
Check PHP versions, that is probably the first thing to verify. Then if the php version is the same you can look at the config files (check directories/paths) within your application's code. You can also take a look at php.ini (php's conf file) & httpd.conf (apache's conf file -though it can have multiple conf files)
You need to check if all the plugins in the CMS are compactable with the PHP version. Also, make Apache look for index.php first rather than index.html in
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
If it is in Wordpress enable the Debug mode in the wp-config.php file and check for errors.
This will give you an idea of what went wrong. You can take it from there.
