Nginx – Маленький, Но Очень Мощный И Эффективный Web-Сервер

Consider trying lighttpd then. Very similar capabilities – more features – better documentation.

I’ve tried to use it and have compared it with nginx. Its performance is very poor comparing to nginx. Nginx uses very efficient connection handling algorithms and that is why it is more preferable for high loads.

That would be rather weird, since if your web page is correct they use exactly the same system: epoll on Linux 2.6, kqueue on FreeBSD, etc…

Is there some English documentation on how to set up nginx to serve PHP+FastCGI? I’m interested in some benchmarking.

I will post sample configuration for nginx+php+fcgi there tomorrow.

Thanks for the great write up!

I would be really interested to see your configuration. Can it compress dynamic content? Do you use it as a front end to apache or as a standalone web server?

How did it compare to lighttpd number wise?

Alexey,

As I’m sure you know already, some of us have set up a wiki for Nginx and are working on getting English, and German translations completed and the Russian documention ported:

Hope this helps others give Nginx a try.

I am trying to install nginx to act as a reverse proxy on a Linksys NSLU2 with Unslung 5.5 Linux operating system.

I have followed the tutorial here:
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ReverseProxy
and all is well until I get to the part where I modify the nginx.conf file to add the Cherokee server as per the tutorial extract below:

>>

At this point of the proceedings I should be able to see the Cherokee server at
:7007/cherokee/
but no luck.

I am also trying to proxy the web interface of my router at 192.168.1.254
Similarly for the router page at
:7007/router/

My nginx.conf file is as shown below.
Have I added the proxy lines to the config file correctly?

Thanks for your help.

Hey, I am thinking about using nginx as a reverse proxy in front of Tomcat. Have anyone done it before ?

Алексей, добрый день.
Возникла проблема и решения пока не нашёл.
Загружаю файл *.asf который после аплоада обрабатывается mencoder’ом, но после того как файл закинут на сервер и начата обработка менкодером, сервер выдаёт 504ю ошибку.
как с этим можно бороться?

Так все-таки – как эффективнее использовать Nginx – в связке с апачем как фронтэнд или как замена апача?

Если можно – опишите какую версию nginx Вы используете на том сервере который показал способность держать 150-200Mbit/s и какая у Вас конфигурация nginx, и, если можно, желаза.
