What web server to use?

Question

Nginx

On the Internet, there are mainly instructions for raising the server with apache (lamp / xampp). But on the toaster it is constantly advised to use nginx. Sometimes nginx+apache. So what to choose?
1. For production server.
2. For local testing and project development.
Thanks in advance for your informative response!

Answer 1

I strongly advise you to make a choice yourself, it will help in this: habrahabr.ru/post/267721 . And in the future, if you are asked why you chose this or that, you will be able to justify, and not answer: "because it was advised on the toaster"

Answer 2

1) Nginx + php-fpm
2) The test should be the same as in production, that is, Nginx + php-fpm
There is no good reason to add Apache, only if some specific modules are needed

Answer 3

Now it is very fashionable to do it completely on nginx + php-fpm.
Personally, I'm satisfied with the nginx + apache option, where nginx proxies statics.
