# 11.2. On the server side

On the VOD server, you need a running Web server. For example, you can use a Linux server running Apache. Other operating systems and other Web servers should work too, but we have never tested.

Make your MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 / DivX files available to the clients on the Web server.

For example, we have a Web server whose DNS name is localserver. On this server, we put an MPEG file `video1.mpg` which will be available to the clients at the URL `http://localserver/video1.mpg`.
