Can one run hidden services from bootable external HDD?
I would like to install ubuntu, nginx, php, TBB on external HDD and boot the HDD when starting... seems like this should work just fine. Have anyone else tried this configuration?

As long as everything is configured correctly it should work just fine.
STOP!
Ubuntu is not a distribution built for security, if you want to use a Linux host, use Debian. TorProject itself recommends thttpd for webservers.

thttpd can run php, as for debian version, I recommend wheezy(currentstable). If you really want full on security, take a look Whonix (whonix.org) Commented Aug 1, 2014 at 6:56

Help! Spending hours trying to understand basics. I installed debian on external with default web server. Then I installed lighttpd which failed to connect to port 80. I stopped apache and restarted lighttpd. Cannot get any webpages to render at localhost. this is so simple with wamp or lemp why cant i see my index page using this webserver?– motsueCommented Aug 1, 2014 at 19:39
