Posted April 20, 201312 yr Hey guys my forum right now runs on an LiteSpeed server, well it was. I just bought a VPS that has Apache installed, i'm thinking installing nginx http://nginxcp.com/installation-instruction/ here to boost the loading times a bit. What you think? Will it break anything? Like lets say .htaccess ?
April 20, 201312 yr Nginx doesn't use htaccess, thats Apache. Most of the features in htaccess though are only needed by Apache, the only real things you need to convert over are rewrite rules and theres quite a few threads in here about that.
April 20, 201312 yr Author I was also thinking the fact, removing Apache completely and replacing it with NGINX...what you think?

April 20, 201312 yr Author this is PROXY to apache to cache static content only. htaccess rules get applied normally. Would it boost a forum? I mean isn't everything, well most of it, dynamic content?
April 20, 201312 yr doesn't seem to hurt it any, and your images are static. I saw some gains when I used it. its not a killer performance boost.

April 20, 201312 yr Author nope installed cpXstack and practicing with nginx and php-fpm Noticed any improved performance?
April 20, 201312 yr yeah I still need to learn all the intricacies but server load is diminished for same amount of online users and system "feels" snappier. need to get time to first byte down but I am looking towards drive speeds being involved there too. but I am just learning as I go, take what I say with grain of salt.
April 21, 201312 yr plan to install nginx too, will test it to my local server after finish to set the DNS server which is a main pain in the ass right now :cry:
