I use Apache, it has all the features I need - virtual servers, mod_rewrite, php support, mod_auth_mysql and some other features I use. Cross platform as well, so if for some reason I had to move to windows then I could move my sites easily.

Ideally Tomcat or JBoss for Java systems, and Apache most of the rest of the time..

..But in reality, usually some crackpot platform the client's already gone out and bought over a round of golf. Oracle Overpriced Edition with the 50,000-dollar shiny buttons on the front.. that kind of hideous monster.

Stick with Apache, is my advice.

Yeah, that's out there - and there are people in shiny suits signing enormous cheques for it... Much to the dismay and disbelief of engineers everywhere.

mmm I had never heard of cherokee but Apache is hard to beat. In many ways its the standard, atleast for shared hosting accounts on Linux boxes which I'm guessing the majority of people on this forum use? Not to mention it plays very nice with PHP, which once again is incredibly popular.

Apache for "old" and nginx for new projects.
Nginx is the better for me (faster and good with usage of memory).
Try it! :thumbsup:
You can!

Guess I'm in the minority here :oops:

I pretty much use IIS6/7 exclusively, since 90% of what I do is based on ASP.NET. For the 10%, I use Apache (the LAMP stack).

Me too -- I've been recommending to folks who have a Windows box around to load the free SQL Server 2008 and do a side-by-side test against what they run now. It's kind of a scientific challenge. "have you actually USED it?" "Uh, no." "WELL?" :o

Usually turns out that people running LAMP have to concede that MS has some very useful tools (SSMS, Visual Studio) on top of the server capability. Easier management & maintenance, IMO.
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/try-it.aspx

I'm not asking them to change camps or retool their entire shop. Just try it. If it works for you, great. At least you know.

Oracle is a whole 'nuther topic.

BTW, any concerns about Oracle buying out MySQL?
