but you only need six. Nginx does those six things, and it

Nginx with PHP

• FastCGI
• PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager)
• Bundled with PHP 5.3.3


Nginx with PHP : FastCGI

• persistent processes, ability to handle multiple
requests.
• web server and gateway application
communicate with sockets such as TCP
• web server forwards the client request to the
gateway and receives the response within a
single connection
• can be implemented on any platform with any
programming language.


Nginx with PHP : FastCGI

server {
server_name mysite.com;
listen 80;
root /usr/share/mysite/www;
index index.html;
location / {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
$document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}


PHP-FPM

• FastCGI Process Manager
• Daemonizes PHP > background proc
• provides a command-line script for
managing PHP proc
• configuration of FastCGI pools
• enhances some of the FastCGI internals
• increases error reporting
• script termination
