I have a fairly popular site on the internet (15K visitors/day) on an micro Amazon instance.

Users are now competing for CPU-time.

Can I take my configuration to nginx?

How much 'work' is it?

  • The amount of "work" is directly proportional to the complexity of the configuration you're migrating from. That's about the best answer we can give with the little information provided.

Can I take my configuration to nginx?

Probably. nginx can do most things that Apache can do.. but it depends on your config.

How much 'work' is it?

Again, it depends. If your configuration is relatively simple, it'll take 5 minutes. If it's incredibly complex, hours.

  • 7 domains with some custom log file paths, some htaccess files with rewrite rules some php .. that's it i think Jan 22, 2012 at 20:41

    You will need to port the use of the htaccess files to nginx format and locations. Jan 22, 2012 at 20:50

    @ulvund Also, if the reason your users are competing for CPU time is actually the PHP code, not much will be won by migrating to ngnix.

  • No PHP code on the popular pages. I do however run some ruby crawlers on the side Jan 23, 2012 at 13:28
