Nginx 1.7.7 发布
Nginx（发音同engine x）是一款由俄罗斯程序员Igor Sysoev所开发轻量级的网页服务器、反向代理服务器以及电子邮件（IMAP/POP3）代理服务器。起初是供俄国大型的门户网站及搜索引擎 Rambler（俄语：Рамблер）使用。此软件BSD-like协议下发行，可以在UNIX、GNU/Linux、BSD、Mac OS X、Solaris，以及Microsoft Windows等操作系统中运行。
Nginx相较于Apache、lighttpd具有占有内存少，稳定性高等优势，并且依靠并发能力强，丰富的模块库以及友好灵活的配置而闻名。 在Linux操作系统下，nginx使用epoll事件模型，得益于此，nginx在Linux操作系统下效率相当高。同时Nginx在OpenBSD或 FreeBSD操作系统上采用类似于epoll的高效事件模型kqueue。
目前使用FastCGI+Nginx运行PHP应用时如果配置文件设置不合理，并不是十分可靠。建议使用NAMP架构（Nginx+Apache+Mysql+PHP），即使用Nginx处理静态请求，并将动态请求反向代理给Apache处理。
