| apache httpd for android phone 2018-11-05 19:56 UTC |
| Today, I installed apache httpd web server on my phone.
In the google play store, search for http server. After installation, the index.html file was visible to the world. No settings needed. You need to know your phone's IP. My phone uses an IPv6 address. The format for IPv6 addresses to put in your web browser is: http://[2700:xxx....]:8000/ with 8000 being the optional port. The open and close square brackets seems necessary for IPv6 addresses. LINK
