I understand they replaced nginx with something different. But why a half-finished webserver that doesn't even support things like URL rewriting. For those who seek a secure webserver, but with features to properly support the modern website/framework/CMS, try the Hiawatha webserver [hiawatha-webserver.org].
Because most people do not need a server full of (holes?) features... They just need to serve a few pages. Everything else is in ports, even your precious Hiawata...
No, most people want to run a simple PHP website (Wordpress, Drupal, etc). But since almost every modern CMS and framework require at least a simple form of URL rewriting (rewrite every request for a non-existig file to/index.php), OpenBSD's httpd is a no-go.

Err... If you are running PHP on OpenBSD, you have COMPLETELY missed the point of OpenBSD in the first place.
As you can see, pointless flaming can be done about anything. If you want to critcize PHP, come up with some proper and valid arguments. Otherwise, you're nothing more than a loudmouth fanboy. I have several PHP websites running for many years, without a single hack, without a any significant downtime (besides server maintaince) and with proper speed. PHP is just a tool, it's the developer that makes it a good or bad website.
I knew you would come up with these articles. Those troll articles are filles with incorrect claims, things that are not PHP specific and outdated stuff. You only believe those stories because you want to believe them. Please, grow up.
OpenBSD does not care about us mortals. They are the reason why we have ASLR, PIE, 64bit, and many other features in most OSes. While the features existed, they were not pushed out by default because programs would randomly break for no apparent reason. OpenBSD took a step forward and made system designs that would cause programs that make use of undefined programming, break. This made it very easy to quickly find most flaws, allowing Linux to eventually go 64bit, among other things.

Seriously, though. PHP?

And there you have the reason why almost nobody uses OpenBSD.
Yeah, well, I use OpenBSD, and I know a ton of people who use it for, say, firewalls, routers and other. And, yes, even web servers an other stuff.
Seriously, man: PHP? Really?
