 As this example is a simple web server, lets install a web server and give it a little test.
+\\
+\\
+First thing to do is to navigate to the IP Address of you EC2 instance, to ensure there is nothing already running.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :websvr_001.png?850 |}}
+\\
+You should see that there is nothing on this IP Address.
+\\
+\\
+So we can install a web server. Open MobaXterm and from the command line enter:
+\\
+    sudo yum install httpd -y
+\\
+\\
+This will install Apache web server, and configure the basic system files required for it to run.
+\\
+\\
+Once installed, you will have to start the Apache service. You can do this with:
+\\
+    sudo service httpd start
+\\
+You should see a confirmation that looks like: Starting httpd:  [  <color #22b14c>OK</color>  ]
+\\
+\\
+Now you can retest your connection from a web browser.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :websvr_002.png?850 |}}
+\\
+You should see an Apache test web page, this means your server is running and you can start to build and upload your test website.
