Can nginx be used in place of Apache?

Web VPS

My answer is use with caution. Technically all popular web apps written in PHP work well with nginx.

I would carefully analyse all requirements and the current setup of production environment and see if nginx can fulfil those requirements.

One feature people will miss the most is the "per-folder configuration" .htaccess. This is particularly useful in shared-host environment but not available in nginx for a good reason: performance.

Test, double test (event more test if you are not 101% confident) your nginx configuration before rolling to production.
