error

I heard that nginx is faster and since I'm on a VPS with low RAM I thought I would try it out.

I got through this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-php-5.3-nginx-and-php-fpm-on-ubuntu-debian

But I now get the following error:

unknown directive "fastcgi_split_path_info" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:28

What might be causing the problem? I can't find any reference to the problem on Google.

Also I have heard conflicting things about nginx vs Apache. Some say use one, some say the other. I'm using all sorts of things such as rewrite rules, proxies etc. Am I setting myself up for a fall by using nginx?

If I go for Apache: how can I tweak it so that it performs better on a low RAM VPS?

GeoIP and Nginx

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
I have a nginx with geoip, but it is not working rightly. The issue is the next: Nginx are getting geodata from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] instead of $_SERVER['HTTP_X_HAPROXY_IP'], which have the real client ip. So, the reported geodata belongs to my server ip instead of client ip. Does anybody where… >>> More
