I always have to look up how to determine the version of each component of the LAMP server I am running. I am using Ubuntu Linux 8.04.4 (Hardy). In my case, here are the command-line instructions I use. I hope this helps you too. Btw, the command “whereis” is very helpful in locating programs (i.e. whereis apache2).

Linux

> more /etc/issue

or

> lsb_release -a

Apache 2

> /usr/sbin/apache2 -V

Note: Apache 2 doesn’t have “httpd” anymore. It was changed to “apache2″ instead.

MySQL

First log into your MySQL database from the command line, using something to the effect of:

> mysql -u username -p

Then:

mysql> select version();

PHP

> php -v

or

> php5 -v

Note: This assumes you have PHP 5 installed and that you have installed the Command Line Interface (CLI) to PHP via “sudo aptitude install php5-cli”. Alternatively, you can find out the version of PHP via instruction “< ? phpinfo() ?>” within a .php file.
