"If you have two servers you would be better with nginx on site a proxying all requests to the internal server b with apache db and gearman on the internal server"

"Tornadoweb and nginx are popular web servers for the moment and many benchmarkings show that they have a better performance than apache under certain circumstances"

"Yes - it s stable and it has much much better performance than apache if configured properly of course;no nginx is not compatible with apache - configuration is completely different"

"Apache can be just as good but requires building from source and knowing exactly what configuration to use to match nginx;however apache has more features and is a little easier to work with"

"Setting up https in apache isn t too hard and then just use modproxy to send requests internally to your play application;any one of the reverse proxy systems can likely do this nginx is popular too and generally has easier configuration than apache but i ve never used it with https"

"If you want to use something in front of it though i suggest you use something like nginx better than apache since nginx is also asynchronous like node and it s performs really well at serving static files"

"I will say that nginx tends to handle heavier loads better than apache though so take a look at that"

"Why nginx might be better than apache when one is long polling and why long polling is better than periodically polling a server"

"16 cores apache would scale better than nginx while nginx would process more client requests"

"4 i d like to understand why nginx might be better than apache when one is long polling and why long polling is better than periodically polling a server"

"The remote server is set up to allow very few maximum concurrent clients generally nginx handles many concurrent clients better than apache since it doesn t need to fork a new process for every request so if it becomes an issue you might want to look into switching web servers"

"So jnlp jar files can be hosted on any http server even not java based apache nginx"

"Note that in any case for increased security and fast static file css js delivery you might want to add a reverse proxy layer nginx usually provides better performance but apache works as well before the nodejs python server"

"I found one answer here and it looks much simpler than the apache one react-router and nginx basically you need to tell the web server to forward all requests to your react s index.html and therefore letting react-router handle the routing"

"Since it s not running as a listening server i can t use nginx node_cgi is not mature with apache how am i supposed to run this sample"

"Nginx is more performant than apache in most cases with high-levels of requests"

"Also you should consider using nginx as server that s more flexible than apache"

"So i understand there are two kinds of servers first kind is web server or http server such as nginx apache caddy another kind is app server such as tomcat undertow"

"Just one tip if only job for the http server will be just proxying the play apps consider using some lighter option than apache for an example nginx or lighttpd you ll find sample configurations for all of only job for the http server will be just proxying the play apps in play s documentation"

"I chose nginx because i ve read that it is lighter and more scalable than apache and can be used as a web server or as a reverse proxy"

"If you want to use .htaccess files you will need to install apache which is a web server using a different heavier architecture;nginx doesn t support .htaccess files that is an apache feature"

"I am not going into how to do rewrites on nginx because it is much more complicated than apache"

"The number of concurrent requests are limited by the number of children threads yes but apache is not spawning a new thread child for every request which would be ridiculously slow even with threads creation and teardown for every request would be way too slow;nginx uses a master-worker model"

"I ve read that nginx is faster for static pages but there are questions about its performance with php compared to apache s performance with php"

"For example nginx is much faster than apache"

"I am not an expert in deployment but in my experience nginx is much faster and more friendly to django compared to apache"

"A server which reserves a thread or an entire process per connection such as apache with the usual mpm_prefork or mpm_worker keepalives are usually disabled entirely or kept quite short a few seconds;for an event-based server such as nginx which uses much less memory per connection the keepalive timeout can be left at a much higher value typically a minute or so"

"Is nginx + php-fpm is suppose to do server operations much faster than apache + mod-php due to efficient usage of memory and other resources"

"Apache isn t really a typical setup for python in my experience;python webapps are usually daemons that are exposed to the public with a reverse proxy webserver in front nginx is very common"

"I wouldn t recommend putting apache in front of node however;nginx is better but not really necessary anymore"

"Also nginx s configuration is much more flexible than apache and by having it on the front end it gives you a lot of flexibility"

However my experience is that configuring it in apache is significantly more complex than configuring it in nginx and even with worker it still is not quite as efficient with nginx;disadvantages of moving to nginx - not many but things to keep in mind

Nginx uses less memory than apache given the size of your setup i would definitely recommend that

Servers like lighthttp and nginx can handle large amounts of traffic in much less memory than apache if you can sacrifice apache s power and flexibility or if you just don t need those things which often you don t

Also have a look at nginx for example it is fast and uses less memory than apache to handle client connections

Id love to know how to solve this since using nginx sometimes is a better option than apache and having this issue with fuelphp framework and not being able to use this two great tools together is awful

First of all i d like to point out that hiding what powers your web app isn t really worth the time or effort with that said if you really really want to there are a couple of things you could try changing the defaults of apache tell all behaviour with these directives assuming you are using apache not really familiar with nginx servertokens prod serversignature off php will add a x-powered-by http header if expose_php was set to on in your php.ini file

Not totally familiar with nginx or apache log but i think most logs contain a timestamp an http request the document requested and status etc. and an ip address

There are ways to improve apache efficiency by coalescing all your rules into a single htaccess or through the use of location blocks in the config;nginx is slightly safer due to packing less stuff that is built-in and requiring cgi processes for almost every mundane task however

On apache it runs as a plugin module just the way mod_php does;for nginx i m not sure

If you need to use 443 in production i highly recommend using apache or nginx to listen on the ssl port and proxy the traffic to your .net code

I ve used apache passenger and nginx passenger on a vps and memory usage was better with nginx;i didn t do any benchmarks with my particular app but nginx just feels faster

Possible hack could be run apache nginx on that ec2

The switchover to nginx really had little to do with the rewrite rule and more to do with getting away from apache 2.2 default upstream version for centos however with nginx rewrite rules are more straight forward than apache s imo

Apache mod_php is much more stable and cleaner while nginx will often deliver http bad gateway error coded in 502

I m new to nginx and want to try it out since it apparently is much faster and less resource-hungry than apache but i can t see why this would be such a hard thing to achieve

The syntax for nginx configuration is different but more clean than apache

Apache is more friendly configuration wise htaccess htpasswd rewrite rules etc nginx is fast in regard to static assets

In fact many dns and web host providers actually provide this functionality as a service and will host the equivalent of above configuration for you though not necessarily with apache;nginx is probably more likely for this purpose these days

Apache s design is thread per client while nginx uses the reactor pattern meaning - nginx can handle much more traffic than apache as a web server about 50 times the number of requests

Nginx uses an event based non blocking single thread and the memory usage is relatively much lower than apache

This is valid directive whether you use apache or not;you don t have to use it but you better do because nginx is very good at serving static files

I also know there is nginx and haproxy although i have never used either of them and have a lot more experience with apache

But you d be crazy to do so apache uses a thread per connection and websockets uses persistent connections using a whole thread per connection when you re expecting a lot of proxy websockets in apache is a waste of resources a non blocking proxy like nginx makes a lot more sense

I m about to try apache but most write ups suggest that this is worse than nginx at this job

It seems your apache is more busy than your nginx

Apache is more flexable then nginx but it comes with a high price in performance

You can have nginx take error response codes coming from apache in consideration and act differently by use of proxy_intercept_errors which combined with error_page can allow you to rewrite response codes error messages from apache to masquarade app failures as service unavailable;nginx will not alter the 500 from the app as long as it doesn t step on a problem contacting fetching data from apache

Ulling numbers from thin air for illustrative purposes serving 10 000 simultaneous connections would probably only cause nginx to use a few megabytes of ram whereas apache would probably consume hundreds of megabytes if it could do it at all;nginx is faster at serving static files and consumes much less memory for concurrent requests because nginx is event-based it doesn t need to spawn new processes or threads for each request so it memory usage is very low

Using your own server for authentication if you dismiss my advise to use the google-servers for authentication then the scope of the tagged issues is getting larger as server-configuration apache nginx ... and server-side programming-languages php python ... might be involved

Nginx apache are general purpose web servers;apache does not know how to serve rack applications and puma doesn t know how to do a bunch of other things nginx apache do cgi scripts url rewriting proxies balancing blacklisting... rack is a library for ruby that accepts parsed http requests from an app server funnels them through a configurable stack of middleware such as session handling passing the request object to a handler and returning the response object the app server making web development in ruby easy

Nginx does not have the 256 connection limit that apache does due to an asynchronous approach to handling connections;not sure what requirements your server has but a basic nginx swap from apache is pretty simple and can be done following step by step tutorials online like this one

If apache is completely down you should be getting a 502 bad gateway because in your setup apache is the gateway for nginx;the same will happen if nginx does not like apache s response in a way when apache sends a response which has headers exceeding nginx s proxy_buffer_size yes you should be getting 504 gateway timeout when apache app is timing out in relation to nginx timeouts see point 2

In fact nginx can use select instead of epoll if you compile it with the --with-select_module option and i bet it will still be more efficient than apache

The fact that what you want to do works in apache as-is is more of a bug than a feature this works differently in nginx by design and in order to prevent a whole class of security vulnerabilities

This works but only in a default apache environment;nginx needs more configurations

Much safer to have apache or also my preferred nginx listening on 80 and passing along the requests;nginx is friendlier for sockets as well and someday you ll want those

Nginx apache both are nginx is faster response than apache nginx have different rewrite rule with laravel nginx is good choice nginx have fastcgi so you can use same like apache here is 1 understanding link sorry for my bad english hope this help you

Anyway i prefer using nginx instead of apache you can set nginx to use sockets which is how puma starts by default and there are more tutorials for nginx+puma there s the config for nginx on that link too

Nginx is very fast much lighter than apache

Apache assumes a leading forward slash;nginx does not

Mail.domain.com-le-ssl.conf generated by let s encrypt my apache2 virtual host config for reverse proxy mail.example.com.conf please note that my original apache2 config file is because i don t really need ssl encryption between apache and nginx the rewrite rule was added when i installed let s encrypt certificate on apache mail server for mail.example.com

Hi everyone i need help with this i ve already set up nginx + php and it works great faster than apache my problem is how to setup a multiple projects in one ip

Thus using keep alive on the apache side is pointless when using nginx in front of it;because though nginx doesn t implement keep alive it should drop the connections promptly as it will have no intention of reusing them so you shouldn t suffer if you do forget to turn of keep alive in apache when using nginx as front end

If apache is not a requirement then you can use another server for example nginx;there is a tutorial for getting nginx running on an ec2 environment

I have read that you need apache to run wordpress but this is false;nginx does not use .htaccess

Nginx is quicker though honestly you ll struggle to see the difference except for very high volume sites and has quickly become the web server of choice for a lot of people if you don t have any specific need for apache for your code

Apache automatically sees the location header in the response and forces the response code to be 300-series if you haven t previously set a response code of your own;nginx does not do this -- it expects you set the proper response code yourself

I ve been attempting to upgrade to php 7.1 using phpbrew and elected to install it with nginx as i read everywhere that it was simpler than apache not that simple in my humble opinion

We have a few clients who have very high traffic sites running apache slower than nginx with varnish in front of it and they get way more traffic than you are saying with little to no performance problems

Apache has been the leader in web server ecosystem for 20 years and is much more popular however nginx is not without its fair share of advantages;while apache is a thing of the past nginx is the future of web apps and websites
