-If you want to run Nominatim as a service, you need to make a choice between
-running the traditional PHP frontend or the new experimental Python frontend.
-Make sure you have installed the right packages as per
-[Installation](Installation.md#software).
-
-#### Testing the PHP frontend
-
-You can run a small test server with the PHP frontend like this:
-
-```sh
-nominatim serve
-```
-
-Go to `http://localhost:8088/status.php` and you should see the message `OK`.
-You can also run a search query, e.g. `http://localhost:8088/search.php?q=Berlin`
-or, for reverse-only installations a reverse query,
-e.g. `http://localhost:8088/reverse.php?lat=27.1750090510034&lon=78.04209025`.
-
-Do not use this test server in production.
