Figure 9-2: Choosing a password for MySQL
When the software installation has finished, both the MySQL and Apache servers—known in Linux parlance as daemons—will
be running in the background. To check that the server is working correctly, use another computer on the network to connect to
the Raspberry Pi using a web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the Pi to display the default Apache installation
page (see Figure 9-3). If you’re not sure what IP address the Pi is using, type ifconfig at the terminal and look for the IP
address listed in the eth0 section, or the section corresponding to the network adapter in use on your Pi if you’re not using the
Model B’s built-in Ethernet port. For more information on checking and adjusting network settings on the Pi, see Chapter 4,
“Network Configuration”.
