in Sites,SysAdmin

I look at a lot of servers throughout the day. When taking a first look at a server it’s always helpful to know what versions of Apache, PHP and MySQL installed. I use Versions.sh to get the low down on one screen.

[root@servername root]# versions.sh
Linux <em>servername</em> 2.4.21-27.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Dec 1 21:59:02 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Redhat Version:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 4)

Apache:
Server version: Apache/2.0.46
Server built:   Jul  8 2005 14:05:56
PHP 4.4.0 (cgi) (built: Jul 12 2005 02:09:00)
Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies

MySQL:
mysql  Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386)

Security:
OpenSSH_3.6.1p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f

Download versions.sh

I usually check out ifconfig too for IP information. Any other information, just add at the bottom of the script.

I spent twenty minutes on this one last night. Check for unmatched braces, brackets, parentheses or PHP tags. Nope. [...]

Qmhandle Short Display Option

12 February 2007
