LAMP on Raspberry Pi works well. Mine runs off of 5V DC 2.5A.

Build a LAMP Web Server with WordPress
Learn to set up a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack on your Raspberry Pi and configure it to work as a web server. You'll download and install WordPress and set up a basic website which you can access on any device on the same network as your Pi.

Set up Apache Web ServerApache 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, and with additional modules can serve dynamic web pages using scripting languages such as PHP.
Install Apache

First install the apache2 package by typing the following command into the terminal:
sudo apt-get install apache2 -y

Subject: [TriLUG] new - old linux help

Hello TriLuggers,

Back in 1990, with an MVS background,  I took a series of Unix classes up to and including Unix admin with BellSouth because I had just moved into the data center in Nashville TN and was going to be doing local support for a system that had a number of Unix boxes attached - however within a month of finishing the classes and moving into that job they developed a way to do 99% of the support remotely from Birmingham AL.  
Hence my only function at that time was to apply updates from tape and boot the systems when required by the centralized support group.  My primary job migrated back to MVS mainframe support and I mostly said goodby to Unix.

Fast forward to the end of 1999 and I was now retired from Ma Bell after a 35 year career, and had moved to Raleigh as an IT mainframe support contractor just in time for an uneventful Y2K.  In 2001 I started supporting some web pages at http://rars.org and had to get the old Unix books to learn enough to get by with SSH and FTP access.  By early 2005 I had purchased a virtual server in California and was supporting a few other sites as well so I again got out the old books and relearned just Unix (translating to Linux) to struggle through setting up a LAMP box at home as a text box for developing web pages - and I joined TriLug on June 11th of 2005 as Member ID : 1118497228 - and still have that card in my wallet and follow the email threads.  I attended about half the TriLUG meetings over the next couple of years but never learned much more Linux, then I retired from contract work and started RVing.  For a few years I still had the LAMP box at the house and accessed it via remote FTP and SSH from the RV.  Then we sold the house and became Full Time RVers and while I still support several websites,  I no longer have a test box for development.

Now I have an admittedly somewhat ambitious interest in setting up one or more Raspberry PI boxes running something like LAMP to provide:
1) a LAN for several laptops, tablets,  smartphones, and a WiFi / USB printer
2)  a web development host with PHP and MySql,
3) several networked storage devices,
4) Ability to dynamically connect the LAN to any of several WAN connections including air cards from 2 cell carriers and local campground WiFi hotspot when available.

I know NOTHING about Raspberry Pi so I am looking for answers:
A) Is if feasible to do all this on a single Raspberry Pis - or how many should I plan on building.
B) What flavor(s) of O/S should I use (simple I hope).
C) Once configured can ALL maintenance and use be done over WiFi.

NOTE that  power and space, are all  limited when living in an RV - to say nothing of money, also factor.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated,
Hank Montomery
