Hi guys,
After running out of memory 2 weeks ago I decided that aside from getting more RAM - we can get our server into a diet...
This means: Goodbye bloated and memory hungry apache and Hello slim and fit nginx!

The change will take place later on today. Everything should be pretty much the same.
I still have some apache directives I need to replicate (many local .htaccess files).
I'll update this post as soon as the change has taken place.

Gil.

Thanks Gil. We await the good news.

Thank you Gil, Peter, et al for providing this great site. Have you all ever considered charging a small yearly (heck, even optional) fee via paypal or some venue to allow you to make hardware upgrades as necessary without having to shell money out from your own pockets?

Good idea! It's not that insane to let the users contribute in covering the costs. Thanks for running and maintaining this very useful site!

Apparently nginx has some surprises,

So until I manage to work around them or fix them - the move will have to wait.
Sorry for the false alarm.

Glad it's working out Peter. I was afraid you'd be asking us to help carry boxes and guitars.

Thanks Gil. Moving to nginx will give us something to look forward to. I appreciate the planning skills and technical talents that you provide here that continues to allow the RRF to go forward.
