I Hate Apache
April 19, 2006 at 12:00 PMOkay, not really, Apache does a great job for a webserver, very stable, very easy to use, and it works most of the time. However, I’m becoming incredibly fed up with it as I try to do more complex things.
URL redirection and bandwidth limiting are not possible under my current configuration. URL redirection semi-works, although not under my main www directory, only under sub folders, why, I don’t know! I cannot get my htaccess file to have any access under the main www directory which annoys me to no end. Bandwidth limiting is possible, but only through modules that you have to compile and make yourself. I’m decent at Linux, but not that good yet, so it’s impossible for me.
More or less what I think will happen is that I am going to install LightTPD, a lightweight web server with FastCGI, which will help my PHP code, and includes build in URL redirections. Either way, I’m just getting fed up with Apache.
