Okay, I understood at high level is: Rocket web server is bit slow as it will traverse to all layers so we can go for apache( I can go for apache also, as it seems like it serves our purpose because server has to run 24*7 on ubuntu so the client can access my application over the network, but I am not having any knowledge how to deploy all of my application data to apache, so if you are having any good source to learn it then please share to me), Second thing related to database , apart from installing MySql manually against postgresql , what are other pros and cons of using postgresql and mysql in web2py(web2py supports both databases so what is advantage of using postgresql over using MySql?).?
