Re: nginx or apache for php?

[Walt E <walt@ik.me>]

Hello

I am currently running a simple Wordpress service with low traffic, so I 
have not encountered any performance issues. Apache performs well. But I 
will still try nginx+php fpm as a substitute when I have time. As for 
reverse proxy, because I used CloudFlare, I think CloudFlare's web 
server plays the role of reverse proxy here. And as far as I know, CF 
also uses nginx.

Thanks for all your help.
