: Lightweight PHP-supporting webserver: Nginx, Cherokee, or Hiawatha? I had asked this question on ServerFault, but nobody answered satisfactorily, so I re-ask here. I want a lightweight webserver.

I had asked this question on ServerFault, but nobody answered satisfactorily, so I re-ask here.

I want a lightweight webserver. The requirements are:

PHP support
HTTPS support
Virtual domains (we have some domains that will point to the same IP address)
Actively developed (to patch security issue etc.)
Runs on Linux (but no need for binary packages; if I have to compile it from source, so be it)

We don't need URL rewriting ability; SEO has approximately zero priority.

Between Nginx, Cherokee, and Hiawatha, can you provide me with the pros/con's of each?

Or can you recommend something better?

Hiawatha does what you want and prides itself on security and ease of use. It's been faster than Nginx in some cases.
Cherokee is a little faster but less secure than Hiawatha and Nginx had an issue with phpMyAdmin.
