Configuring Apache is easy as there are tens of thousands of tutorials showing you exactly how to add those two little lines of code to enable proxy and/or a cert. Both Apache and Nginx are easy to configure, Nginx is easier, that doesn't make Apache hard.
> Are you the sort of person that's surprised PHP got so popular?
Nope, I've worked with tons of PHP developers and I know exactly why it's popular. Wide support, easy copy to server deployment, and in large part, dumber programmers who want you to give them the codes because it's a copy and paste community in large part. All languages have a wide variety of users, but I've found the worst of the worst go to PHP like a month to a flame exactly because it's so simple to get started and despite how terrible a language it is.
- hardwaresofton 13y agoI think of PHP as a templating language, to be honest. I like it (I still think the LAMP stack is cool), but the kind of code that it forces you to produce is often focused around document generation (as was the majority of the internet for a long time). Maybe it's just the wrong tool for this time, and it used to be right tool in the past.
