Setting up apache webserver in Raspberry PI

     You might be interested in running a PI as your web server  for your network  as the tiny device doesn't consume more power as compared to a full PC.Here are the steps followed.

 install Apache by providing command 

  sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-utils 

 You will be asked to download press y.

 

 After the completion of installation of Apache now install  php.The pi  supports php5 so install it by

  

   sudo apt-get install  libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php-pear php5-xcache

same preess  Y to download packages when asked

nest is to install MySQL as the server might require a database for usage .Type 

 

   sudo apt-get install php5-mysql mysql-server mysql-client

Now you will be asked to enter the root user password enter a password.

 

Now retype the password when prompted..

This completes the installation of My-SQL ,As database is installed installing phpmyadmin is a good thing to manage the database..So to install phpmyadmin type

       

   sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

Now when prompted choose the installed server and hit ok

When prompted give the password for application and then for root user..

 

Choose Yes for configure phpmyadmin and proceed

Now you have to edit the apache to use the phpmyadmin so type

  

   

   sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

move to the end of file by continuously pressing ctrl+V and at the end add the following line

   

   Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf 

Now everything is ready for the server ,so reboot the pi..

you can test the server at the PI's IP and phpmyadmin at IP/phpmyadmin
