Test PHP
To see if PHP is working correctly on Ubuntu 20.04, create a new PHP file called info.php
in the document root directory. By default, this is located in /var/www/html/
, or if you set up multiple domains in a previous guide, it may be located in somewhere like /var/www/mytest1.com/public_html
Once you have the correct document root directory, use the nano
text editor to create a new file info.php
sudo nano /var/www/html/info.php
Type or paste the following code into the new file.
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Press CTRL
+ X
, press Y
and then press ENTER
to save and exit.
You can now view this page in your web browser by visiting your server’s domain name or public IP address followed by /info.php: http://your_domain_or_IP/info.php

You have now successfully installed PHP-FPM for Nginx on Ubuntu 20.04.
Make sure to delete info.php
as it contains information about the web server that could be useful to attackers.
sudo rm /var/www/html/info.php
As per this article write on February 4, 2024 we unable to access the info.php with response code 502 Bad Request.
