Hi,
I used during several years a portable version of my webserver under
windows 7/8 to shift from laptop to desktop computer and without
duplicating webserver from one computer to another.
i'm trying to do the same under ubuntu 15.04 however it seems that
only few people did it.
1. why people under linux do not use portable webserver (e.g. on USB
drive) ?
2. how can i make apache 2.4.x portable, so to have all needed files
(apache, php, openssl, etc) on a USB drive and make it work as
standard web server?
so in fact how to make apache looks after its configuration files and
librairies under its own directory where it will be stored ?
I suspect this may not be possible in a Linux environment because Linux
doesn't use binaries.
In Windows, it is pretty easy to create executable binaries and put them
on flash drive with all the necessary configuration files and voilà it
is done. I have used in Windows by downloading the Apache binaries from
http://apachelounge.com and php binaries from http://windows.php.netand
mysql binaries from mysql.com and you are done. With Linux, this can't
be done as far as I can see because of the way how linux (ubuntu, Mint
etc etc) works. My experience of Linux is limited so I too would like
to know if it is possible to launch an Apache server from usb drive.
