[users@httpd] apache vs Hiawatha web server

[Rajeev Prasad <rp...@yahoo.com>]

Has anyone here ever tried Hiawatha web server? i need to run only mysql, php and perl in the backend. i am concerned with memory footprint and speed difference between the two servers. personal websites would be holding data, pictures, videos etc.

at what kind of web traffic level (for e.g. 5gb per week) does it really matters which http server i should be running? the websites use a lot of cgi (not fastcgi or mod perl etc...)

You better stick with Apache if you know nothing about other servers.
The fact of the matter is there are only two webservers recognized in
the industry -  Apache and Microsoft's IIS.  There is no need for other
servers yet so why worry now.

Good luck.
