title: Apache and Nginx both on port 80
body: <p>I'm trying to install Nginx on my current cloud Cent OS server which has Apache httpd installed and running.</p>
  
  <p>My hosting company tells me that Nginx and Apache can both run on port 80 at the same time so my plan was to transform .htaccess and Apache conf of Wordpress sites to Nginx after installing it via Yum.</p>
  
  <p>I also Googled about this and some people suggest using Nginx as a reverse proxy and serve static files only but run Apache with PHP because Apache has PHP embedded and would consume less memory even though it doesn't support multiple concurrent requests like Nginx.</p>
  
  <p>My gut feeling is that switching everything over to Nginx would be beneficial but unsure at this stage.</p>
  
  <p>Also, is there anything I should watch out for when doing this switch over?</p>
  
  <p>What would you do if it was you in this situation?</p>
