This step-by-step howto shows a basic setup for Apache 2 web server. Apache is installed on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper, but instructions will probably work on any Ubuntu. This document is a work in progress, initially only required commands are listed without trough-out explanations.
Install Apache
$ sudo apt-get install apache2
Test it
Surf to your own server on your own local computer:
$ firefox “http://localhost”
