I would like to setup a local network with one Ubuntu server and multiple clients(Ubuntu desktop). I need to install web server (lamp) in server and all Client machines needs to access the web server and share files installed in main Ubuntu server.
I know how to install Lamp in Ubuntu but I don't know about dns configurations to access the local web server from other machines. Also I am very new to Linux So any step by step tutorial would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Edit: The answers suggested here are kind of old around ubuntu 6. I am looking for an answer for Ubuntu 15.04
I followed the below tutorial which is explained in a detailed manner. I got the dns to work but still have some questions, so I am opening a new topic for that.

You can see arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/…. This link shows how to use nginx as your webserver. I have followed and was able to install a working server in a VM– RumeshJun 7, 2015 at 16:04
