I dropped Apache in favor of Nginx about two years ago. Haven't looked back since then. It's so much easier to configure and it uses far less memory.

- dTch7 14y ago>it uses far less memory One of the main selling points for me. Especially for personal projects, I can go with a more affordable vps plan by using nginx instead of apache.
- killerpopiller 14y agoI am using lighty for that reasons. Can anyone compare lighttpd with nginx performance on small servers like Pis?
- FooBarWidget 14y agoI dropped Lighttpd years ago because on some occasions it used 100% CPU for no reason. It didn't make the server crash, and Lighttpd itself appeared to run fine otherwise, but still... the CPU usage was there for no reason. This was never solved, and development also seemed stalled. So I switched away from Lighttpd to Nginx. Nginx just kept working and working, never broke once.
