The problem is that I am unable to implement on a web server (ubuntu18) the enabling for them to connect to Mysql via ODBC I would appreciate any help.

What have you done?
What webapp is being implemented? Does that webapp not have a native mysql interface? Probably over 90% of webapps do so ODBC isn't necessary.

Do you want to write an app that will connect to a database via ODBC? PHP has support for that: https://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.uodbc.php

I've never used this so you're on your own. I use PostgreSQL most often and MySQL when forced to do so (hello, wordpress).

Is the MySQL database running on a Windows server? You might consider migrating it to Linux, then using the MySQL ODBC driver to connect from Windows apps. I use Access on Windows + PostgreSQL on Linux via the Postgres ODBC driver.
