I wonder what are the adventages and disadventages of using NGINX only instead of NGINX & APACHE together. I need very fast server for file distribution nginx looks perfect at first glance however has some drawbacks like:
doesn't support upload progress bar. Yes I know there is a module which may fix this issue but could it influence performance in bad way, since nginx has to act in different way ?
.htaccess, I have about 200 lines of rules to rewrite, how much time it may took and how hard it would be to rewrite it to nginx ?
what about security issue ? Is nginx any more/less safe then apache ?
any other disadvantages of using nginx only ?
Thanks for resonable answers. ;)
