+=============
+Started and modified from here http://sirlagz.net/2013/02/08/raspap-webgui/
+
+Found this article very helpful for setting up DHCP (https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/install-software)
+
+Requirements
+============
+A raspberry pi with raspbian running on it. You will need to ssh into it to set this up.
+
+The Packages required for the WebGUI are:
+* lighttpd
+* php5-cgi
+* isc-dhcp-server
+* git
+
+Steps
+=====
+1. Install required packages
+
+  `sudo apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi git isc-dhcp-server`
+2. Enable php in lighttpd
+
+  ```
+  sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
+  sudo service lighttpd restart
+  ```
+3. Edit `/etc/sudoers` to allow the *www-data* user to call the necessary commands. Add the following line to the end of the file.
+
+
+  ```
+  www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ifdown wlan0,/sbin/ifup wlan0,/bin/cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf,/bin/cp /tmp/wifidata /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf,/sbin/wpa_cli scan_results,/sbin/wpa_cli scan,/bin/cp /tmp/hostapddata /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf,/etc/init.d/hostapd start,/etc/init.d/hostapd stop,/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start,/etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop,/bin/cp /tmp/dhcpddata /etc/dnsmasq.conf
+  ```
+4. Once those modifications are done, git clone the files to `/var/www`. Make sure that there are no files in the `/var/www` directory. There was a default lighttpd index file that I had to delete.
+
+  `sudo git clone https://github.com/rjpcomputing/raspap-webgui.git /var/www`
+5. Set the files ownership to `www-data` user.
+
+  `sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www`
+6. Configure a static IP for the Pi
+  * Edit `/etc/network/interfaces`
+  
+  `sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces`
+  * Find and remove dhcp entry
+  `iface eth0 inet dhcp`
+  * Append new network settings
+  ```
+  auto eth0
+  allow-hotplug eth0
+  iface eth0 inet static
+  address 10.0.0.1
+  netmask 255.255.255.0
+  dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
+  ```
+  * Find and change `iface wlan0 inet manual` to `iface wlan0 inet dhcp`. This is under the wlan0 setup.
+  * Comment out `iface default inet dhcp` and `allow-hotplug wlan0` using the '#' character at the beginning of the line(s).
+  * Example of `/etc/network/interfaces` after all changes are made:
+  ```
+  auto lo
+  iface lo inet loopback
+  
+  #iface eth0 inet dhcp
+  auto eth0
+  allow-hotplug eth0
+  iface eth0 inet static
+  address 10.0.0.1
+  netmask 255.255.255.0
+  dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
+  
+  auto wlan0
+  #allow-hotplug wlan0
+  iface wlan0 inet dhcp
+  wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
+  #iface default inet dhcp
+
+  ```
+7. Configure `dhcpd` by editing `/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf`
+  * `sudo nano /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf`
+  * Add the following to the end of the file
+  ```
+  subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 
+  {
+    range 10.0.0.50 10.0.0.99;
+    option routers 10.0.0.254;
+    option domain-name "local";
+    option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
+  }
+  ```
+8. Open `/etc/default/isc-dhcp-server` and change the `INTERFACES=""` to `INTERFACES="eth0"`
+
+  `sudo nano /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server`
+9. Install and configure the auto-reconnect WiFi script (wifi-check).
+  * Copy 'wifi-check' to `/usr/local/bin/wifi-check`
+    * `sudo cp /var/www/wifi-check /usr/local/bin/wifi-check`
+    * `sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wifi-check`
+  * Add it to cron so it runs every 5 minutes
+    * `sudo crontab -e`
+    * Append the line `*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/wifi-check > /tmp/wificheck.log 2>&1` to the end of the file
+    * Save the file
+* Reboot and it should be up and running!
+  
+  `sudo reboot`
