What Kind Of Server Do You Have?
It’s important to know what kind of server your website is running on - especially when it comes to installing software like a content management system. We ran into this situation this week at Brunello. Here is a quick solution to determine your server details with a simple .php file.
- Create a file named server-info.php with the following code in it: <? phpinfo() ?>
- Upload the file to your web server
- Visit the url of the file http://yourwebsite.com/server-info.php
- Delete the file after you have determined your server type

Brunello launches new website for the best-selling book - Cook This, Not That! - http://cookthis.menshealth.com/
thats work it for me fine, thanks.
Can’t you also just take the website you’re working on and wipe off the last bit of file name and replace with a nonsensical bit of characters and hit return. When I do this the page usually “breaks” and when the website returns a 404 Not Found or other error, the server is named at the bottom of the message.
That works for me too, instead of going through the hoops of setting up files and such.
