I am using ap开发者_C百科ache server for php. So my doubt is can I use both Nginx and apache server for running on my system . Can be both server load on the systm? Thanks in advance

Although I don't see much benefit, but as long as they are listening to different ports, I don't see why not.

Here's a tutorial on how to setup php in nginx (just in case)

If it were me, for evaluation purposes, I would just fire up one of my Virtual Machines and run nginx in the test environment of your choice.
