Howdy. I'm currently thinking about moving from apache to either lighttpd or nginx in the near future. The reason for this is simple, I just need a lightweight HTTP server that can easily be configured (ie, setting up virtual hosts, user directories, directory listings and such). I also require PHP to be installed since I run a few applications based on PHP (postfixadmin, wordpress, roundcube).
Are there any main reasons to go for one over the other considering my requirements?
I have read a great deal lighttpd vs nginx articles, but none really describe in detail appropriate uses for the two HTTP servers. If you guys know of such articles or reviews, I'd appreciate if you point me to them.
