How to copy Wampserver functionality for localhost on Ubuntu

Question

How to recreate a Wampserver like functionality on my localhost so I can see loaded Apache/PHP/MySQL Version, Loaded PHP modules, My Projects (actual directories in the "/var/www"/) and etc.

Answer 1

Once you have migrated your files and database to Ubuntu, you can create a php file with phpinfo(); inside the file. View this in your browser and it will show you all the loaded php modules.

For a list of loaded apache2 modules open a terminal and type apache2ctl -M
