Ubuntu

Do I need a full Server

Asked by d0m

Hi
I'm learning WebGL & need to open stuff I've saved on my Comp. with a browser. But the new security settings won't let me. It seems I need a server to put my stuff into. Is there a simple server I can use or do I need to download the full Ubuntu server?
Thanks
d0m.

You can run server apps on the desktop OS. There is no restriction.

Hi
Dos Ubuntu have its own server app?

To set up your computer with a full LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP/Perl/Python) stack see here

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP

Depending on what you are doing you may not need the whole stack.

What 'server app', it makes no sense at all. There are countless servers you can run; ftp server, http server, sql server. so "server app" is nonsense.

What sort of server do you need?

I agree with actionparsnip here: There are lots of different types of server.

My answer above is for a Web server as you mentioned WebGL and a browser. But if that's not what you want tell us exactly what you are trying to do.

Hi
I just want to see my web pages on my Comp. that have WebGL on them. They make a call to WebGl & OpenGl etc. & so are treated as viruses & wont open properly.
Thanks
