In this project the\u00a0Raspberry Pi board is booted with the Ubuntu<\/a>\u00a0OS and is connected to the Ethernet port of a Windows7 PC. The board is connected to the internet connection as explained in the article Connecting the Raspberrypi to the internet<\/a>. The IP address of the Raspberry Pi board has been obtained to\u00a0remote login in the TUI<\/a>\u00a0using the PUTTY and is\u00a0remotely accessed using VNC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Make sure you\u2019re up-to-date:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To check for update and to install them enter the following command:<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get update<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Install Apache:<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, we have to install the apache2 package by entering the following command:<\/p>\n

Sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-utils<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Apache<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Fig. 2: Apache Installation Command In Raspberry Pi<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This shouldn\u2019t take long, press \u2018y\u2019 to continue installation.<\/p>\n

Test The Web Server:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the installation is finished, check the server by navigating any browser to http:\/\/localhost\/ on the Pi itself, or http:\/\/192.168.1.10 (whatever the Pi’s IP address) from another computer on the Local Area Network you should see the following. To find the Pi’s IP address, type hostname -I at the command line.<\/p>\n

\"Apache<\/p>\n

Installing PHP:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To allow your Apache server<\/a> to process PHP files, you’ll need to install PHP5 module for Apache. Type the following command to install these:<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Installing<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Copying web page files:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Navigate to \u2018www\u2019 folder by entering this command:<\/p>\n

cd \/var\/www<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Now remove the index.html file and create the file index.php by following two commands<\/p>\n

sudo rm index.html<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

sudo nano index.php<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Now your Apache server is capable of handling some PHP<\/a> content also:<\/p>\n

<?php echo “hello world”;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

You should see “hello world” when you save and refresh your browser.<\/p>\n

Try something dynamic by fetching date and time details.<\/p>\n

<?php echo date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’);<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

or show your PHP info:<\/p>\n

<?php phpinfo();<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
