been using a portable LEMP setup for several months. my progression has been XAMPP > Uniform Server > LEMP w/start stop batch scripts.

i just tweaked https://github.com/Xeoncross/wnmp a bit for my uses. buttery smooth goodness.

my only complaint about nginx is the way it tries to make location ordering "magical". there's often no clear way of forcing a specific location assertion order because of regex vs literal, terminating vs not.

This is a very strange post. nginx is highly mainstream and anyone working with webservers in any capacity should have come across it a number of years ago.

You would think so, but I still see new projects started every day using Apache for something nginx would be a much better fit for. I think that mostly the admins and architects on these projects have simply never heard of nginx, or if they have, they don't really know what it does.

All sites that use Cloudflare will show as using NGINX and they did 25 billion page views in December... http://blog.cloudflare.com/100-billion-page-views So I would have thought that helps a fair bit with NGINX's market share stats.

Do those results have a multiplier applied?

Files behind a CDN are static files, such as CSS, JS etc. These are requested by other HTML files, which in turn include 10 of them maybe?
