Asking for advice about Nginx

[SplitIce]

SplitIce, get a real life. lol ur saying 25k unqiue is big scenario. I am dealing with around 300K daily. the competitive to apache i found was only litespeed.

and nginx never spike, it will just give 504 error to uncapable requests.

Never did I state that that it was the biggest scenario, and 150K php views/day is still alot for a single server in any ones books.

Id hate to know how much the Reverse proxy pushes as far as (pageviews/requests)/day

litespeed is a fine webserver - it uses the event model same as nginx.

Lighttpd would be fine cept its memory leaks are its downfall and Mo0 doesnt develop much any more both lighttpd and Xcache are falling behind.

localh0st - No offence but cPanel isnt made for performance or thuroughput its made for newbies. It uses apache because its whats been around for the longest and supported by most scripts out of the box because of that, nothing more. By no means does it mean that apache is the best

--

Also dont think that I dis apache, its a great server for localhosts/testing server -- its what I run internally on my box atm, .htaccess makes it easy to test a debug config without a server restart but in practice its a real performance drain with the number of stats required to serve a page.

Heres some benchmarks a quick google found:



I think this one is quite interesting as it highlights litespeeds performance, (howeaver its not suitable for warez sites as they wont licence it to us and if you want to crack it go ahead, but its a can of worms most people woudnt want to open)

SplitIce Reviewed by SplitIce on 10th Nov 2010. Asking for advice about Nginx Good evening, have little problem with Nginx configuration. I'm using it for script who streaming data to user from another server, so it's like proxy. But this action requires lot of CPU time. I have almost default Nginx configuration, it works with fast-cgi, i wonder maybe some one know something about tweaking Nginx for streaming/proxy? Rating: 5

Apache is just the best, why? It's used by cPanel. It's the default webserver of cPanel and I think those freaks @ cPanel Inc. know a lot more about webservers than we know.

Anyway, stick to the thread and help the OP.

cPanel gets paid by the Apache Foundation.
They own the market using Microsoft's method.

also for pure perl/cgi scripts apache is the best. as l0calh0st said cpanel guyz knows more abt that

already gone out of topic..


@OP : how can one forget Light's streaming module ?

http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/1/D...-flv-streaming

Lighttpd site claims that even youtube uses them

http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/1/PoweredByLighttpd


and those who are still using Fcgi

check this http://php-fpm.org/

Well said SplitIce. I agree about lighttpd and xcache. I actually recently switched to apc as was having strange authentication errors with xcache.

I was going to chime in and say something about cpanel earlier, but I thought my comment would sound a bit rude and be off-topic.

All I would say, is that if anyone consideres themself a proper webmaster, they wouldn't use cpanel, or any panel for that matter. Plus, its actually more fun setting it up yourself anyway and while doing it you increase your knowledge of linux systems.

Ive had ~500k php views/day without any problems (nginx + php fastcgi) on single quadcore server, so nginx is great for not only static stuff
i would recommend php-fpm now as desiboy said
btw i also use apache on my pc for testing purposes

Yep, Nginx performs quite well.. The quadcore server also handles the MYSQL stuff or it's on another machine?

Gee Robin H care to share your source I suspected if anything it would be the other way around.

nginx was good for my vps with only 256 mb ram.
Also nginx is also great for servers that serve static files, ie: imagehosts
