      Now that I have the new server setup with Centos7, and migrating my wp blog to the new server, I am even thinking about changing the webserver and DB too!

      Thinking about replacing Apache with Nginx and mysql with MariaDB for my wordpress. I don't see any glitches in the migration, but just wanted to check with you guys, if this is a good decision.

        Nginx is an open source web server written to address some of the performance and scalability issues associated with Apache

          For PHP apps like WordPress, Apache is often faster and better suited than nGinx. If you are doing the migration purely for your own educational purposes, by all means, go crazy. If you are doing it because you think that it will improve performance or is a good technical decision, it is not.

            MariaDB is just a fork of MySQL. For most Linux distros the choice between the two is which one is bundled with your OS. I would not deviate from this unless you have an extreme technical need to do so.

              Additionally, if you install CentOS7 minimal and then do

              yum install mysql
              

              You get MariaDB anyway.

                @JaredBusch Nice! was not aware of that, so CentOs already switched to MariaDB? 🙂

                  @Ambarishrh MySQL is in the EPEL I believe so once you add that, I am not sure what it pulls down.

                    Yes. RHEL = CentOS.
