I’m really familiar with “Apache”. I’ve always considered it as my favorite Web Server. Going through your article, and I thank you for your informative lines, I’m starting to lean to Nginx. I’ll definitely try it.

my boss has told me to start researching nginx.. I’m wondering if anyone has a link to any video tutorials? Or walk throughs? I tried on youtube and there is nothing really there… I just want something simple to show my boss.

Thanks!

I choosed Lighttpd over Apache, years ago. It was 1.2 if I recall. I used it first to serve static then as the only webserver.
I stuck with it until last year when I wanted to try Nginx. I used on our main webserver and it rocks. I come back to Lighttpd for another project as I found the configuration part a little more user friendly. In the future I’m going with Nginx again until Lighttpd 2.0.

I use it for my blog network. Millions of pages without any problems. I was playing with “top” and I was surprised to see Nginx serves my blog posts in less than 1/100th of second. I’m on a $20 Linode account, if you’re wondering. It’s fast!

I preconfigured the latest nginx, php, and mysql releases into an installer so everyone can try nginx in all it’s glory!

I was reaching capacity of my 1gb VPS RAM quota running Apache2, PHP, PostgreSQL. There were 40 apache processes each weighing 15-20mb averaging 600-700mb RAM.

I just installed NGINX in front of Apache in a reverse proxy config. NGINX serves all static content (JS, CSS, Images) and proxies PHP requests to Apache/mod_php.

Its amazing how efficient this setup is!

Server now has just 15 * 15mb Apache processes (average 225mb RAM) and 4 * NGINX processes (3mb RAM).

Net result: capacity for 3x as many concurrent requests / vistors!
