It's stable, gives you HTTPS and rewrite and named virtual hosts, and gives clients a warm fuzzy feeling that you're using something they've heard of. People say it also has a better knowledge of the quirky useragents out there and can correct misformed requests better than just exposing PasteHTTPServer or CherryPy directly, though I don't know how true it is. There are a few newer servers now (nginx, lighthttpd, cherokee) that claim to be smaller, more efficient, and better organized than Apache. On my production server I've found Apache sufficient so I haven't bothered with them. But I do have a virtual server for our local Python group, with Apache running Mailman and MoinMoin, and Apache regularly dies there with an Out of Memory error, or the kernel's memory terminator kills it and then hangs. So I've been meaning to try nginx there and see if it works better. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
