So, I have heard about nginx (engine x) as a great alternative to apache. Apache is a very robust web server. Nginx is a very minimal server. It doesn’t to a lot of stuff, but that is fine because it does the things I need it to do. Being a PHP developer the big hurdle for adopting nginx was getting it to run PHP. Up until now I had always used PHP as an apache module. Nginx does not support apache modules, so I have to run PHP in cgi mode. It required a little bit more configuration than a normal PHP install, but it seems to be very fast. You can check out my latest project the bookticker and let me know what you think.
