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.
