I was hoping someone here could shed some light on Nginx. I have read up on it, seems very useful and improved compared to Apache. Has anyone here tried it? and more importantly, would the premod rewrite work on it? and lastly, would anyone happen to have an idiots guide to changing a htaccess file over to the style that Nginx uses in its config file to do the rewritting??

I have no idea

Just thought I would update this post. We have switched one of our dedicated servers to Nginx as of last week.

Initially I was skeptical and not sure it was the right decision, but now I can say I am very glad we did. It is so efficient, clean running and well... just efficient lol.

The phpBB-seo premod works great on it, all I had to do was convert the htaccess file to the config format that Nginx uses and it works flawlessly.

If anyone has any questions about particulars or anything else, let me know and I would be happy to share what I can.

it would be handy if you posted your conversion of the rewrite rules

n/m, posted mine here
