This is a fantastic statement (I'm being serious, not facetious), because it really does. For specific purposes - serving static content with few bells and whistles, dedicated PHP application servers for custom apps and stuff like Drupal, I can't see ever going back to Apache. The nginx configs are too clean and too simple. For a large site with more complex authentication and access restriction needs that are handled by the web server, I wouldn't drift from Apache - not because I think nginx couldn't handle it but because I don't know if it could and because I am less comfortable with saying I did it properly with nginx than saying the same thing about Apache. kmw _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
