Solved: Apache2 webserver control GPIO

ST5 · ‎10-06-2015

Hi guys,

I want to access the GPIO pins from a web interface. I know node js can do that.

But I want to use Apache for this project. How can i do that?

Hello Sanji,

I'm not sure if this can be done on Apache, but if you were to try then you'd have to create system calls from you code in Apache in order interface with the GPIOs.

As you mentioned Node.JS would be able to do this even more considering that MRAA is available for Node.JS which will provide you an easier access to the board's GPIOs.
