Just adding this since nginx proponents seem to be over-represented in threads these days :

- I too find that the Apache documentation is much better than the nginx one

- I also prefer the Apache License over the open-core, pay-a-license-for-more-feature model of Nginx.

- Then the module system of Apache is simply stable, proven, and seamless.

I'd go with Apache any time of the day as far as HTTP servers are concerned. I have nothing against Nginx per se, but I think that the Apache is dying / Apache is obsolete rhetoric is so far away from truth and exaggerated that it is almost becoming some sort of propaganda.

Apache is doing just fine and is going nowhere anytime soon and its configuration file format is not that complicate. Just try it for yourself and read the (well-written) docs.
