It’s official, nginx is a heap of donkey dung. I replaced it with ye olde apache:
sudo service nginx stop
sudo apt-get -y purge nginx
sudo apt-get -y install apache2 apachetop libapache2-mod-php5
sudo apt-get -y autoremove
sudo service apache2 restart
AND DONE!
I’d be interested to hear what makes you say that. I run a couple of (smallish) websites, some with apache, some with nginx and I’ve been considering migrating the apache ones to nginx too. It’d be nice to know what problems caused you to make the opposite migration.
I’d like to refer you to a previous blogpost for the reason: http://blog.amedee.be/the-website-was-down
I don’t care if the general consensus is that nginx is “better”, if it doesn’t work for me then it isn’t. Simple as that.
