There Can Be Only One

You might have two web browsers installed, or two or three of anything else. But I think you only use one web server.

There is no big choice of all the web servers that might be in the ports. It is a straight choice, Apache or NginX

I use both? Whichever one is more appropriate for the job. So I have servers running Apache and other servers with nginx.

 

[Alain De Vos]

Apache for phpPgAdmin.
nginx for poudriere.

 

[astyle]

For some reason, nginx didn't compile for me. I spent a month setting up Apache correctly for Poudriere. And did it, too! ? No stinkin' mod_rewrite, port 80 blocked and blackholed. I'd rather not proliferate .conf files for different web servers. I know it's not impossible to run 'em side by side, but I'd rather pick one for my LAN.

 

[Cath O'Deray]

Years ago, Apache on Mac OS X Server.

I might have looked into NGINX but don't recall implementing it. (Doing web sites with Plone in that era.)

Lighttpd anyone? (It's pronounced lighty.)

Lighttpd anyone? (It's pronounced lighty.)

No, no, no. Lighty was a good idea when it came out. But it cannot stand up to a heavy load.
