We did some testing of Apache and nGinx head to head for something a few years ago.
We also did a bit of testing of Apache, nGinx, haproxy and lighthttpd a couple years ago for something else, and ended up picking Apache after whittling it down to Apache and HAProxy.
Apache was as fast as nGinx once we configured it properly. In both instances.

No, it is not true. However, it is also not false. It depends on so many factors that it's disingenuous to answer your question either way. To simplify, it depends on what your content is, and how you've configured each server, but even that is too simplistic an answer. The real answer, as we say on the #httpd IRC channel, is TIAS - Try It And See. Test them for your content and see which one is best. It's also a good rule that any time you see an article that says X is faster/better/stronger than Y, you can rest assured that the person running it is an expert on X and not on Y, and that an expert on Y (and not X) could probably configure things such that the reverse was true. Use the one you're more comfortable with, more experienced with. If you choose Apache httpd, we'll be here to help you configure it. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen@xxxxxxxxxxx @rbowen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
