When i scan my site with [builtwith.com](http://builtwith.com) it is showing that i am using  
both  
nginx and apache. however i have completely moved my site from apache to  
nginx. Though previously it was on Apache which i uninstalled after  
installing nginx.

Now i am woundering why its showing both.

i check netstat its showing nginx daemon owning port 80 and 443.  
I also used curl. it also showed nginx is serving the page.

Any idea why?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,  
Yousuf

When you scan your site with [builtwith.com](http://builtwith.com), what do your nginx logs say  
the requests were?

When you make those same requests yourself, what responses do you get?

Pay particular attention to the http headers.

Perhaps [builtwith.com](http://builtwith.com) makes a request that your nginx is configured to  
reverse-proxy to an apache server, without hiding the Server header.

Perhaps [builtwith.com](http://builtwith.com) scanned your site previously, and show all  
historical answers.

Perhaps [builtwith.com](http://builtwith.com) uses heuristics which are wrong for your site.
