Apache > nginx

Absolutely no chance.
Why would you even say such a thing?

@Ashkin
Nginx is actually not as superior as many claims, ONLY when it comes to static websites with millions of visitors. That when Nginx shines.

The vhost in apache2 is MUCH smaller and simple, also Nginx does not support htaccess (BOOOOOH!!!)

@Linux configuring Nginx is so much nicer than Apache. It also integrates better with thin clients like unicorn/passenger, etc.

@Linux you don't need .htaccess if your framework has sensible routing. Then again, php does not.

Being a quite big webhost, nginx can not solve our need. Apache does that flawless. And with php-fpm the performance difference is not noticable.

Apache is also better serving dynamic files while nginx does a better job with static files.

MongoDB

If by dynamic you only mean PHP then youre right; but if by dynamic you also mean reverse proxy for a Node.js, Go, Python or C# app you are absolutely, positively wrong.

And to prove a point by using your arguments; try looking at the download of your applications and consider the amount of static content actually served. Styles, images, JavaScript, in many cases these are 90% of the total transfer; static files, where nginx shines!

Can't do streaming with apache, can't use mod_perl request handlers with nginx, so I use both :)

@nbamaral
Using then toghether works great! You have the Speed of nginx and the flexibility of Apache

What kind of streaming btw?

nginx < apache < Microsoft IIS Server < file://

I like Apache more but im Running my Webserver on a raspberry (not ideal but hey better than nothing) and Apache just eats so much ram. So i am forced to use nginx

What about Caddy?
https://caddyserver.com

@Sarcaxxo
Never tried caddy, it looks interesting and I was about to try it for the http2 support but Apache released the module the same Day ;)

@FetzenNET
Do you run PHP as an Apache module (if you use PHP)

I am using asp.net core on Debian.
@Linux

@FetzenNET
Oh, then I understand!
What kind of stuff are you running?

I am Running nginx, mysql, asp.net core, Netdata and a Discord bot on it. All of those dont get to much traffic so its not too much of a Problem for the pi. On asp.core i run a basic api a and a almost static Website with vue and like i said on debian

@FetzenNET
Nice :) the first time someone actually uses asp.net core on Linux that I have heard of! I do like it

@Linux thats pretty sad. Core really changed alot of things people dont liked. Im not trying to Sound like a fanboy but i really enjoy working with it..

@FetzenNET
I want to see more stuff and usecases for asp.net on the pi

Apache has slow loris if i remember correctly, wouldn't run it on my server

@IwraStudios
Fixed long ago

php -S localhost:80
on production server of course. 😈

@Linux couldn't find a source saying it was fixed but I'm sure you are right

@IwraStudios
Actually, it seems like it still exist. So you are correct. But apache can handle it better now and it can be resolved with mod_qos.

Slowloris is almost never used anymore thou :)

We actually use both. Apache as backend webservers, with PHP-FPM. Nginx as a load balancer for dynamic content and Varnish as a caching proxy for static content.

@Linux
Sometimes I have to publish live events (conferences or classes) through OBS (open source broadcast system, it can manage multiple audio/video sources).
nginx stream module works great for that (I use dash, ffmpeg does all the transcoding).
Sometimes I proxy nginx through apache, sometimes it's the other way around, to make everything seamless in SSL.
