Set up an apache/httpd server on fedora 18 for raspberry pi

Hello!

Setting up an apache server on raspberry with fedora 18 is straight forward.

Just run the following command (as root):

# yum install httpd

After that, you probably want to start apache and have it started at bootup:

# service httpd start

# systemctl enable httpd.service

To unblock port 80 in fedora's firewall (make the server available from outside), run

# firewall-cmd --add-port=80/tcp

and (to make it permanent. i.e. surviving reboots)

# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcp

You may also want to install the following packages

• mysql mysql-server

  installs mysql and its database server. Autostart by running

  # systemctl enable mysqld.service

• php

  install php 5

• php-mysql

  installs mysql support for php

by running

# yum install <packagename>

where you replace <packagename> with one or more of the ones given above.

After having installed all of them, you're running a complete LAMP (linux, apache, mysql, php) server on your raspberry.

Congratulations!

[UPDATE Apr. 28 2013] Since solely running "firewall-cmd" will not survive any restarts, I added the additional command including "--permanent" option to the blog post.
