Server admins - Nginx

ultrabizweb · Sep 19, 2010

This is an interesting post I have let to try nginx but have heard very good things about it. Maybe I will set up an instance on a test VPS so I can learn how to configure it properly. I have just been an apache user for so long that I have become familiar with it. It's time for me to get out of my comfort zone once again. I have also been looking at HAproxy for load balancing websites looks very interesting for high traffic sites. Anyways anything that can increase performance and decrease resource usage is always a good thing.

God i hate nginx. Though my company uses it, so i have too =)
I have lots of experience in both nginx and apache, so here i my comparison:
1) the {} config sytax sucks. editing it in terminal, without highlighting of brackets is hell.
Apache xml syntax is far better.
2) it aint that much faster. thats right. all the test you've seen of load comparisons, feature nginx with php-fpm, and apache with mod_php. apache with php-fpm works just as good.
3)config in nginx is downright confusing. even though i can config it, i still prefer apache.

We also tried this and had mixed results. Trying to support nginx is like trying to putout a forrest fire on a windy day.

At least we are not talking about web-spire.

That is why I'm using Lighttpd.

is it free source? n if not, is it cheap to rent it every month?

Lighttpd? Yes, it's free. It supports many features that are not available by Nginx, such as cgi-bin scripts, etc.

If you prefer 100% apache compatibility, you may want to consider LiteSpeed (costs bit extra), as it delivers web pages much faster than Apache.

Hello guys
I am switching to nginx right now and there are some old htaccess rules i am trying to convert into nginx standards for my site :

Code:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^change_font= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^rvds= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^searchphrase= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^keyword= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^next= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^searchkey= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^qsvpage= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^qsvd= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cvlpage= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^tmpl= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^height= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^sms_ss= [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^scvds=
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1? [R=301,L]
