# Nginx vs. Apache

 * Does anyone have experience with running WordPress on Nginx and Apache. If so,
   which do you recommend and why? I’ve been thinking about switching to Nginx because
   of the performance claims but I can’t find a lot of documentation out there for
   using Nginx with WordPress. I have noticed that wordpress.org, wordpress.com,
   and some big blogs like techcrunch.com all run on Nginx so that’s another reason
   why I think I would like to give it a try.
 * I’ve also been looking for some tutorials on configuring Nginx for WordPress 
   because I have no idea how nginx works. So if anyone knows of any links that 
   would be helpful.
 * Thanks.

 * Lots of people use it. The .htaccess rules are the only annoyance, as I’ve heard
   it told.

 * Duh. Somehow I overlooked this article. Using too many keywords in Google I guess?
 * Many thanks.
