Chapter 13. Setting Up a Web Server on the Raspberry Pi
In the previous two chapters, we discussed the networking capabilities of the Raspberry Pi. In Chapter 11, Build Your Own Supercomputer with Raspberry Pi, we built a network of Raspberry Pi devices that were able to communicate with each other and share the computational burden, thereby significantly reducing the time required for a task to complete. In the next chapter, Chapter 12, Advanced Networking with Raspberry Pi, we learned about more advanced networking concepts such as DHCP servers, DNS systems, and so on. In addition to that, we made our own intranet with a few Pi devices.
Continuing the same theme, we will now set up a web server on a single Raspberry Pi and set up a WordPress installation on it. The web server that we will be using is Apache, as it is one of the most popular servers, and has high usage within the open source community. In this chapter, we will be covering the following topics:
