Web Servers: Nginx vs. Apache
Multi-PHP lets you choose the right web server for each of your projects or set a global default.
🌩️ Choosing a Web Server
You can switch between Nginx and Apache for any of your projects in the "My Projects" settings.
- Nginx: Lightweight, high-performance, and standard for modern web development.
- Apache: Traditional, robust, and supports native
.htaccessfiles for fine-grained configuration.
🛠️ Global Configuration Management
Each server has its own main configuration file where you can manage ports, worker processes, and global settings.
Nginx Configuration (nginx.conf)
- Test Config: Use the "Test Configuration" button to verify your changes without restarting the server.
- Save & Reload: Apply configuration changes instantly.
Apache Configuration (httpd.conf)
- Main Server Settings: Configure global document roots, module activation, and standard ports.
- HTAccess Support: When Apache is active, it automatically reads
.htaccessfiles in your project folders.
📁 Shared Server Assets
Multi-PHP comes with pre-configured, professional designs for Index of (directory listings) and Error Pages (404, 500). These are consistent across both Nginx and Apache.
Warning
Editing global configuration files can prevent your servers from starting. Always use the "Test Configuration" tool before applying changes.
