Abstract - We used a Raspberry Pi to configure and set up a webserver with an IP address and port forwarding, which would allow access from another source connected to a network. The webserver will have minimal features; we were focusing more on the development and configuration process with a very fundamental format that makes it easy to understand and simple to teach to someone who has little to no experience setting up and configuring a webserver with a Raspberry Pi. We end up using some basic SQL and a few fundamental Unix/Linux commands and some SSH since the webserver was setup on Linux and involved port forwarding from another computer.

1 Introduction
The raspberry pi was invented by Eben Upton. He invented it to help the kids learn the coding in a simpler way. Up to 5 million units of raspberry pi have been sold. This tiny computer is just $35 and is sparking a revolution. There is a large user community of Raspberry Pi, although, it was launched just recently on February, 29th 2012. The Pi enthusiasts are organizing community led events all over the world. Such events are full of learning for the kids to code.
We planned to use a Raspberry Pi to configure and set up a webserver with an IP address and port forwarding, which would allow access from another source connected to a network. The webserver will have minimal features; we were focusing more on the development and configuration process with a very fundamental format that makes it easy to understand and simple to teach to someone who has little to no experience setting up and configuring a webserver with a Raspberry Pi.

Now to elaborate on what a Raspberry Pi is, the Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools [6]. The Raspberry Pi sports a meager 256MB of RAM and a 700MHz ARM-11 processor....
