Now's the time for the big test! From your softphone, dial 100, and listen for Asterisk
to play the sound prompts.
We're only scratching the surface with the most basic of applications here. For a
full list of the dialplan applications you can use in your dialplan, type

at the Asterisk CLI.
Of course, there's much more that you can do with Asterisk on your Raspberry Pi,
including implementing call menus, voicemail, allowing clients to call each other, and
so forth. Now that you've learned the basics, you can dive into all the wonderful things
that Asterisk can do. And don't forget to turn your firewall back on when you're done!

Build Your Own Web Server
HACK 33
From kids with creative urges to grown-ups with pet projects, wanting
your own website is a common desire. Having a Raspberry Pi makes it
easy to set up your own web server, whether it's for your blog or a web
interface for interacting with a larger Pi project.
There are as many reasons to want a web server as there are websites. We'll cover two
options: first, how to set up your own blog on a Raspberry Pi; second, getting started
with a development environment called Coder that helps you learn the basic building
blocks of the web: HTML, JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and Node.JS.
Set Up a Basic Blog Server
There are hundreds of millions of blogs out there. Why not let your Pi add a voice to
the chorus? The easiest way to get your Pi online and yourself blogging is by setting
up the LAMP stack: Linux, Apache (web server), MySQL (database), and PHP. To-
gether they give you a base on which you can run WordPress, one of the most popular
blogging platforms.
By setting up a distro on your Pi, you already have the L down, so let's move to the A.
Here's how to install Apache on Pidora:
$ su -c 'yum install httpd mod_ssl'
