Pardon me for asking, but why would anybody use anything other than Apache? It is the defacto standard, runs on multiple platforms, and there are more help files and tutorials available than any other web server? In addition, it has been bundled in various one-click installation routines (WAMP, XAMP, etc.) which make it one of the simplest of applications to deploy.
What am I missing?
Apache is a beast any way you cut it. I dread developing many diff apps on Apache. I'll always use Lighttpd for local development. A config file w/3 lines in it will work for any of my apps, run it at a console with lighttpd -D -f lighttpd.conf, no install needed, see all stdin/stdout right there, it's cake. Further, if I am developing cgi apps, SCGI apps, FastCGI apps and there is a euphoria web server that I simply do:
C:\MyProjects\forum > euweb
and it works right out of the box, no install what-so-ever except my already existing Euphoria? Whoa. What a perfect setup! Why would you use Apache, or even LigHTTPD? Development would be a breeze.
