+## Set up an Apache web server
+
+Apache is a popular web server application you can install on the Raspberry Pi to allow it to serve web pages.
+
+On its own, Apache can serve HTML files over HTTP. With additional modules it can serve dynamic web pages using scripting languages such as PHP.
+
+### Install Apache
+
+--- task ---
+
+Open a terminal window by selecting **Accessories** > **Terminal** from the menu.
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- task ---
+
+Type the following command into the terminal and press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to install `apache2`
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: bash
+line_numbers: false
+---
+sudo apt install apache2 -y
+
+--- /code ---
+
+**Tip:** If you see an error, make sure you are using the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS.
+
+--- /task ---
+
+
+### Test the web server
+
+By default, Apache puts a test HTML file in the web folder that you will be able to view from your Pi or another computer on your network.
+
+--- task ---
+
+Open Chromium by selecting **Internet** > **Chromium Web Browser** from the menu.
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- task ---
+
+Type `localhost` in the address bar.
+
+--- /task ---
+
+You should see this in your browser window:
+
+![Apache it works](images/apache-it-works.png)
+
+This means you have Apache working!
+
+### Changing the default web page
+
+This default web page is just a HTML file on the file system. It is located at `/var/www/html/index.html`.
+
+--- task ---
+
+Type the following command in the terminal to change to the directory containing the HTML file:
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: bash
+line_numbers: false
+---
+cd /var/www/html
+
+--- /code ---
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- task ---
+
+Open the `index.html` file using Thonny
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: bash
+line_numbers: false
+---
+sudo thonny index.html
+
+--- /code ---
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- task ---
+
+Delete the contents of the file, then type a short message and save your changes.
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- task ---
+
+Go back to Chromium and refresh the browser. You will see your message appear on the web page.
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- collapse ---
+---
+title: Access the page from another device on the network
+---
+
+You can open your web page from any other computer on your network, using the IP address of your Raspberry Pi, e.g. `http://192.168.1.10`.
+
+To find out your Raspberry Pi's IP address, type `hostname -I` into the terminal window.

+## Install PHP
+
+PHP is a **preprocessor**: it's code that runs when the server receives a request for a web page via a web browser. It works out what needs to be shown on the page, and then sends that page to the browser.
+
+--- task ---
+
+Type the following command in the terminal to install PHP:
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: bash
+line_numbers: false
+---
+sudo apt install php -y
+
+--- /code ---
+
+--- /task ---
+
+### Test PHP
+
+--- task ---
+
+Type this command to delete the `index.html` file from earlier:
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: bash
+line_numbers: false
+---
+sudo rm index.html
+
+--- /code ---
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- task ---
+
+Create a new file called `index.php`:
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: bash
+line_numbers: false
+---
+sudo thonny index.php
+
+--- /code ---
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- task ---
+
+In the Thonny code editor, type this PHP code into the file and save it.
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: php
+line_numbers: false
+---
+<?php echo "hello world"; ?>
+
+--- /code ---
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- task ---
+
+Refresh your browser. You should see "hello world". This page is not dynamic, but it is still served by PHP.
+
+![hello world](images/apache-hello-world.png)
+
+--- /task ---
+
+
+--- collapse ---
+---
+title: I can only see PHP code
+---
+If you see the raw PHP above instead of "hello world", use this command to reload and restart Apache:
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: bash
+line_numbers: false
+---
+sudo service apache2 restart
+

+## Install MariaDB
+
+MariaDB is a popular database engine. Like PHP, it's widely used on web servers, which is why projects like WordPress use it, and why those projects are so popular.
+
+
+--- task ---
+
+Type this command to install the MariaDB Server and PHP-MySQL packages:
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: bash
+line_numbers: false
+---
+sudo apt install mariadb-server php-mysql -y
+
+--- /code ---
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- task ---
+
+Now restart Apache:
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: bash
+line_numbers: false
+---
+sudo service apache2 restart
+
+--- /code ---
+
+--- /task ---
+
+### Set up
+
+--- task ---
+
+Run the MySQL secure installation command in the terminal window.
+
+--- code ---
+---
+language: bash
+line_numbers: false
+---
+sudo mysql_secure_installation
+
+--- /code ---
+
+--- /task ---
+
+--- task ---
+
+Go through the setup wizard using the following answers:
+
++ `Enter current password for root (enter for none):` — press **Enter**.
+
++ `Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n]` - Type in **N** and press **Enter**
+
++ `Change the root password?` - Type in **Y** and press **Enter**
+
++ `New password:` - Type in a password and press **Enter**, then repeat a second time. **Important:** remember this root password, as you will need it later to set up WordPress.
+
++ `Remove anonymous users` - Type in **Y**
+
++ `Disallow root login remotely` - Type in **Y**
+
++ `Remove test database and access to it` - Type in **Y**
+
++ `Reload privilege tables now` - Type in **Y**
+
+--- /task ---
+
+When complete, you will see the message `All done!` and `Thanks for using MariaDB!`.
