I want to host a website. Is there any stable alternative to Apache?
Nginx?
nope, every single website on the internet either runs apache or is unstable as fuck.

IIS is the most secure and stable. Use IIS.

Is there any guide to hosting a django site through Nginx? What if I want to host static files on a different server?
Appreciate your input.
>>52140864
there should be tutorials for django with nginx
you can configure nginx to use a totally different setup for another domain or server
you can route traffic (based on URL, domain, whatever) through another nginx or apache server with "passthrough" or (reverse) proxy option
>>52140650
Apache is good and the fuck tons of modules make it the most versatile web server. Nginx is also a choice, in some areas faster but not as mature.
>>52140864
run django module with uwsgi or gunicornlocation / {
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_connect_timeout 60;
proxy_read_timeout 60;
#proxy_pass http://django; # Socket for uWSGI
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
}

Faggots, nginx is for static files only. You can't magically "configure nginx with django". They are unrelated as fuck. You need a WSGI server for Django and then configure that WSGI server to work with nginx.
Take a look at gunicorn.

nginx for lightweight
apache for bulky enterprise size/grade bloated shit

Tell that to universities.
>>52140650
run nginx on the frontend for static assets
set up a rule for php files and then forward that to another server running apache and mod_php

Of course, it's 4chan.

nginx is preffered by most autismos because its "more secure" and has less useless features. I personally keep to apache though since resource usage isn't really an issue to me and its what I'm familiar with.
OP here.
I'm looking at the options @ https://shop.networkpresence.com.au/cart.php?gid=9 and I'm not sure which would be appropriate. Any tips or advice?
>>52142015
It doesn't highlight which one gid=9 is, but fuck off with that shit. Overpriced shit. If its just going to be a small site, you're better off buying a vps with digitalocean. I use them for a few of my project, and you pay by the hour so if you want to cancel in the middle of the month you can.

>digitalocean
It looks like they don't have any Australian servers. My project is going to be deployed commercially so it needs to have low latency.
>>52140650
NGINX is the way to go

good luck handling more than 10 concurrent connections with apache
shit, some guy in his basement could take a down a site running apache just by opening a bunch of connections

nginx comes with uwsgi extentions since 1.3location / {
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/uwsgi.sock;
uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /;
uwsgi_modifier1 30;
}
AWS is the only answer

Name one thing wrong with nginx.
Protip: Don't try, you can't.
>>52144915
no create _sub/whatever_folder -> whatever_folder.domain.tld automatically accessible
otherwise nginx to go
>>52145007
wat
>>52145056
apache has some magic where you
1) specify a special folder (_sub)
2) bind it to a domain (4chan.gov)
3) any folder created in the _sub folder would be automatically accesible as that folder from the network, with the foldername as the subdomain
4) for example:
mkdir _sub/{fags,moor}
would make the links moot.4chan.gov and fags.4chan.gov accessible, with the respective folder's content shown at those subdomains;
unlike manually adding it to a conf file like with nginx

>>52145228
that makes no sense. apache doesn't control dns records.
>>52145228
to be honest that just sounds like doing something different for the sake of being different. copy pasting a virtualhost and editing the servername and web root would achieve the same thing and be much easier to understand six months down the line.
