Hi,

I am new to manage server via SSH. Is it possible to check PHP and MySQL version via SSH for cPanel server? I know we can upload phpifo page to check PHP version but I am curious if we can check it directly via SSH.

Thanks,
Rick

Below are the command to check the MySQL version you are using on your Linux server / machine through shell via SSH:

SSH Command: mysql -V

Process:
Open SSH Shell
Login to your server
Enter mysql -V command
You'll receive output in SHELL something like
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.50, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
NOTE: Type above command carefully and exactly like "mysql -V" without quotes. If by mistake you typed "mysql -v" (without capital v) instead of "mysql -V" you'll see "Welcome to the MySQL monitor".

You can easily check the PHP and MySQL versions via SSH (Secure Shell) by using the following commands:

Check PHP Version:

To check the PHP version installed on your server, use the following command:

bash
Copy code
php -v
This command will display the PHP version along with other information about the PHP configuration.

Check MySQL Version:

To check the MySQL version installed on your server, use the following command:

bash
Copy code
mysql --version
This command will display the MySQL client version.

Alternatively, you can use the mysql command to log in to the MySQL server and check the server version. Here's how:

bash
Copy code
mysql -u your_username -p
Replace your_username with your MySQL username. You'll be prompted to enter your MySQL password. After successfully logging in, you can check the server version using the following SQL query:

sql
Copy code
SELECT VERSION();
This query will display the MySQL server version.

By running these commands, you can quickly determine the PHP and MySQL versions installed on your server through SSH.
