raspberry pi connected to a wireless router using ethernet

I want to start a project that will connect my rasspberry pi to a wireless router using ethernet is it possible?

Yes. It depends which functions of the PirateBox you want to use. So it is possible, that you need to do additional configuration steps.

i just want it to act as a webserver while the router as an access point

This is possible, but the upload box may need adjustments. I also recommend to setup a fixed IP & hostname in your router for your Pi.

As the default configuration relies on wifi, you need to change some things in /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf:

DO_IFCONFIG="yes" => DO_IFCONFIG="no"
USE_APN="yes" => USE_APN="no"
USE_DNSMASQ="yes" => USE_DNSMASQ="no"

The quick CLI command to make all the changes in piratebox.conf is:

sed -e 's|DO_IFCONFIG="yes"|DO_IFCONFIG="no|g' \
 -e 's|USE_APN="yes"|USE_APN="no"|g' \
 -e 's|USE_DNSMASQ="yes"|USE_DNSMASQ="no"|g' \
 -i  /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf

After this, the Box should start with its normal services, even without a wifi adapter (possible, that a RPi config is neede, but I don't think so).

Give it a try, hope this helps.
