How you plan run your app? Important questions for choice: Do your app use .htaccess/.htpasswd and .ht* must be reconfigured in runtime by user? Do your app use cgi or mod_php and can't be run as fastcgi/fpm/wsgi? If any answer 'yes' or 'don't know' - apache. Or better nginx as reverse proxy in front of apache as application server. nginx may replace apache, but their configs have no user access and another format + it's not an application server, their capabilities - to proxy requests to another app and serve static files. -- Stanislav
