linux server configuration

hey guys...I'm currently building a web server and to my excitement I'm reading up about which one is best to install apache or nginx?...or even both?

 

as i imagine a lot of you have your own web server with a load more experience on both engines than me...hopefully can give me a answer into which one i should really choose?...although i am more swayed to use nginx as it supposedly runs the quickest.

 

what i need for my server is a web-socket as well as PHP and MariaDB.

 

hope you guys can give me some good advise.  Thanks

Answers to questions like these will be based on people's personal preference. Some will say Apache, some will say Nginx, others will say Apache with Nginx running as proxy. In all honesty, installing either of them will not yield the results you need unless set up properly and optimized for ultimate performance. In my personal opinion, I would go with Ubuntu 15.04, with Nginx. A websocket client is available in Ubuntu.
