Its not a view "concocted" exclusively by other devs - I've usually read it in independent reviews such as Linux Format magazine.

Thats partly what I was afraid of!
However, I take your point that FA should just work with Apache's defaults, so maybe I'm worrying unnecessarily.
But I would still be interested if anyone knows whether FA has any Apache-specific requirements, or if they've tried FA with any other server.
Thanks RandomName, its good to know that installation with Apache is so straightforward.
But I've read many times (usually in reviews of lightweight servers) that Apache is something of a behemoth and overkill for many uses, using much more system resources, and also difficult to configure when you do want to change something, so I'd still be interested to know if FA is really tailored to Apache or if most other 'general purpose' web servers should be just as compatible.
I'm a bit put off by the complexity of Apache.
Would using a simpler server like Hiawatha (www.hiawatha-webserver.org) be likely to cause any problems with FA?
Web posts look good for Hiawatha with PHP eg: "I've been using Hiawatha for three years. It has been very stable and reliable. I especially like that the configuration file is very simple and easy to setup. I have never had any issue with security, but all I run with it is PHP with the php-fpm module."
