From Apache to NGINX
Recently I decided that I would try to replace my Apache installation with one of it’s competitors to see what could be gained from a change. While I’d heard good things (and bad) about Lighttpd (lighty) I decided it would be interesting to go with the underdog nginx.org
nginx.org was originally developed to cater for the needs of Rambler, a Russian search engine. It has quickly gained numbers though, and recent surveys put it as fifth most used web server on the internet today. It has many nice features, but above all has a reputation for stability, something I can’t say Lighttpd has in quantities.
