Introduction: Raspberry Pi As Webserver.
This instructable will only briefly show a way to enable webtraffic to your Raspberry Pi.
In the last step you'll find a guide to add the content.
You'll need:
1 Raspberry Pi
1 Router
1 Micro USB cable
1 Ethernet cable
(and of course an Internet connection)
Step 1: Raspberry Pi As Webserver - Connect to Router.
First you need to connect your Raspberry to your router.
Connect ethernet cable to a free Lan-port. (See picture above).
Connect Micro USB to router or if you have different cable, to your power net.
I'm also using a USB-hub and discstorage...
Step 2: Raspberry Pi As Webserver - Configure Router.
To enable access to your Raspberry Pi you need to enable traffic to it.
Steps:
1. Log in to your router.
2. Check current ip.
Under Attached devices check your current ipaddress for your Pi.
3.Lock current ip to your Raspberry Pi.
Under LAN-setup Add an address reservation for your Pi.
4. Configure asDMZ-machine.
Under WAN-setup Enter current ip and enable as Default DMZ Server.
Step 3: Raspberry Pi As Webserver - Setup Webserver.
Now you'll need to add content to your webserver.
Here you can find a guide to setup and add content to your Raspberry Pi webserver:

Yay! it works and stuff,
Can I use this to upload and download files?
Reply 8 years ago on Introduction
Sure, it is small, but it is a server. If you only need to upload and dowload files, perhaps you are looking for a NAS ? But a Raspberry Pi is much more fun! ;)

I like the simplicity of this instructable compared to others about setting up a server on the raspberry pi. It does not involve Mysql or other stuff i have no idea how to do yet. I am still waiting for my raspberry pi, probably getting one for christmas. Also ablut a raspberry pi laptop, check out this ible' https://www.instructables.com/id/LapPi-A-Raspberry-Pi-Netbook/

Don't really need MySql for a webserver, but if you want to present anything more than just stationary html pages, MySQL comes in handy.
Should really give it a try :-) It is really not that bad.

diy_bloke: Your absolutly right, but perhaps PostgreSQL can be a good choice?

Thanks emdarcher! Warms me in this winter times...
Your (tip ?) instructable is a dream of mine, as you saw! RPi as a laptop, can it be cooler?!
Cheers!

Yes Oakapi10, that is correct. But could you not use a Wi-Fi adapter then?

This will only work with RPI Model B.

1 k visits...Thanks folks! But not an awful lot of comments... Is really everything crystal clear?

@amandaghassaei - Yes indeed! I see that you have done some cool projects with Arduino... Tip for you (and everybody else=) Why not make a laptop pi? Perhaps a bluetooth keyboard and a 7 or 11 inch screen? A dream of mine.

sweet! I've got to get going with the raspberry pi, so many awesome projects that could be done!
