Hi All,

I'm really excited for our new project namely, we will do a full upgrade of both ZC (from 1.5.4 to 1.5.5f) as well as our server infrastructure, being that we are basically doing a rebuild as recommended we have another chance to make a careful decision on our choices.

In order of priority our primary focus is 1. Security 2. Speed, having said that I need help deciding following choices:

  • Apache or Nginx? Or Apache + Nginx hybrid?
  • IF apache 2.2 or 2.4 ?
  • Which OS? Ubuntu? CentOS? Version?
  • MariaDB or MySQL?


I truly appreciate all of your input and suggestions.
