The Coolest Thing You Can Do With Your USB/Phone

Here's one more thing you can do with your thumb drive (USB) or your phone's memory sticks: you can turn it into a web server with...Server2Go.

What is Server2Go?

Server2Go is a Webserver that runs out of the box without any installation and on write protected media. This means that web applications based on Server2Go can be used directly from a usb stick or from any folder on a phone's memory without the hassle of configuring Apache, PHP or MySQL.

Server2Go allows you to create a standalone working web site or PHP application on a phone. There are many
examples of its possible useses such as catalogue software, calculation
programmes, image campaigns (CMS-
based), computer based training lessons or other applicatons. Most PHP-Software such as the content management system Joomla or the computer based training software Moodle can be used from CD-
ROM with the help of Server2Go.

Server2Go was developed in the first
instance for use on CD-ROM but there is no problem in using it from other drives too. Using a web browser, you can run php programs as well as view html files on the USB/Phone.

You only need to plug your phone/flash disk that comes with Server2Go to the computer's USB. The server software then starts automatically and a browser is opened with the default page of Server2Go.
