Nginx + Varnish + Apache

[masterb56]

Hey guys do you know if installing Nginx + Varnish + Apache is much faster than Nginx with Apache backend? Will NVA eat much more ram generate high loads?

I want to make my website fly just like what Varnish says

I have no experience with ngix and varnish, but Apache used much ram if 10 to 15 visitor brows on your site. recently i experienced this problem and my host suggested me ngix but i not taken this because ngix have some limitation for rewrite rules and it cannot support .htaccess i think. but its true that ngix is the most enhanced and lowest ram usage server.

I suggest you used ngix for dynamic request only and Apache for static contents. this will sure fly your website.

Hello,

why would you need nginx and varnish at the same time

instead try apache and varnish they will give same result as apache + nginx + varnish.

I don't have time to explain why, short answer is both nginx and varnish will serve static files but varnish will cache them, ohhh and btw if you have RAM less than 2GB then don't think about varnsih it won't help you much.

Ah thanks for the answer XSLTel. I was trying to see if I could serve w3 total cache caches via varnish cause I'm having a hard time getting some rules on nginx for it. I guess I'll dig in deeper for some answers
