What Drupal installation steps did you complete, and on which did the process fail?
What is the text of the error message(s) or error log file entry(ies) that caused the problem?
Can you run phpmyadmin and access the server's SQL database administration UI in a browser?
Are you able to run the phpinfo.php script in a browser, and if so, what is its configuration output?

There are too many possible things you might not have configured correctly, especially in a command line linux environment.

What you are asking is like trying to get an accurate diagnosis from a doctor over the phone, without x-rays, physical examination, blood tests, or any other information, which is asking a lot from a doctor.

However, one thing we know is that you don't have php working.

On Linux, have you tried running PHP 5.6.x, and recompiling it fresh, with plenty of options compiled in?
- (google how to recompile PHP on Linux)

If you use google, you will find many step by step recipes for installing drupal on a linux machine.

It would be a duplication of effort for me to repeat such a list.

Also, install Drupal 8.3.5, the current version when you get to that point.

I recommend you run the basic install first, and then after D8 core is running, install the composer utility and learn how to use composer to manage the core code and modules. If you look through my other recent posts you will find example composer.json Drupal 8 core/module configuration files I have provided for others with questions similar to yours.

-

Rest assured that thousands of people regularly get Drupal installed and running smoothly. I keep an entire suite of D7 and D8 development and test instances running at any given time, and can attest to you that once you get the hang of everything, a Drupal instance can be spun up in just a few minutes. Also get phpmyadmin running after you get php running, as it will streamline your SQL database management greatly.

p.s. make and keep frequent backups ...

Why aren't you going to install D 8.3.5, when you get to that point?

Now you tell me ...

You installed xampp on linux?

Then you say PHP didn't work?

Did you start the php server daemon - did you start the Apache httpd server daemon - did you start the mysqld daemon?

You have to start those, and you have to add those daemons to system startup script file so they start when you boot linux too.

I suspect the reason PHP doesn't respond is because you didn't start the daemons after installation!!!!!!!

I had compile PHP7.1. Apache, Sql had intalled correctly,

even PHP installed properly.
When I try to run PHP in Web browser it's displaying blank page. Apache is working fine

So I decided to use Xampp. I use linux

& I didn't understand the point

I run a WHM/cPanel stack on my VPS, which provides a web GUI for all administration tasks and streamlines server management.

With WHM/cPanel a lot of server managements tasks, from making domains, to setting up email and spam filters, to adding virtual servers on additional domains, checking logs, making backups, and more, can all be completed with a just a couple mouse clicks, while still having root access and SSH CLI available when needed.
