Ss Dec12 0:24 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 17162 0.0 0.6 236888 5868 ? Sl 00:00 0:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 17163 0.0 0.6 236856 6136 ? Sl 00:00 0:03 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start pi 18496 0.0 0.0 2736 548 pts/0 S+ 07:08 0:00 grep --color=auto apache ``` If not, start is manaually ``` sudo service apache2 start ``` ### Test your site Go to following address using your browser ``` http://[your-raspberry-pi-ip-address] ``` If you see this page, the apache server is properly installed and ready to use. ![](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Cgr5L.png) ## Virtual network If you host your rpi under pppoe, it will have an dynamic external ip address, in order to solve this problem, the simplest way is to create a virtual network. ==**NOTE** THIS WILL LIMIT YOUR SERVER ACCESS SINCE ONLY CLIENTS UNDER THE SAME VIRTUAL NETWORK CAN CONNECT TO THE RPI== ### intalling hamachi since hamachi is free to use(5 users max per virtual network) I am using it. ``` wget https://www.vpn.net/installers/logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.203-1_armhf.deb sudo dpkg -i logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.203-1_armhf.deb ``` ### Using hamachi checking hamachi status ``` sudo hamachi ``` checking hamachi network status ``` sudo hamachi list ``` create network ``` sudo hamachi create <network-id> <password-for-the-network> ``` join network ``` sudo hamachi join <network-id> <password-for-the-network> ``` leave network ``` sudo hamachi leave <network-id> ```
