Apache Version
You may need to check which version of Apache is installed on your web server. The httpd command can be used to find Apache version on Windows as well as Linux.
# httpd -vIf the path to Apache bin directory is added to the path variable you may execute the command from anywhere. If the command is not being recognized you have to navigate to the directory where Apache is installed.
C:\Myfolder\Apache24\bin> httpd -v Server version: Apache/2.4.18 (Win64) Apache Lounge VC11 Server built: Dec 11 2015 13:02:26
To get a list of loaded modules use the command
# httpd -M
PHP version
The function phpinfo() can be used to check php version. To do this, create a file called test.php in the document root folder. Open in text editor and add the following code.
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
If you open http://localhost/test.php from a web browser this shows the currently installed PHP version and details.
MySQL
Go to the MySQL bin directory. Issue the command mysql -V
c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin> mysql -V mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.28, for Win64 (x86_64)
Alternately login to the database and use SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'version'
