Just be absolutely sure that you never need the additional features that Apache Httpd provides, and Nginx will probably be a good choice.
Read http://stackoverflow.com/a/3635081/309483 http://stackoverflow.com/a/3635081/309483 There is also a linked 100+ vote question, but I think it has too much noise.
I'm an Apache guy too. If you know how to configure it, there's not much reason to switch from Apache.
- harshreality 14y agoBeing able to run a site using less memory on average, and much less memory in the worst case (traffic spike for a site running a dynamic language module like mod_php), is a major reason to switch to Nginx from Apache.
- iso8859-1 14y agoApache 2.4 has reduced memory usage, are you sure this still applies? Nobody is forcing you to use mod_php, in fact I'd say it's obsolete. I use PHP-FPM.
