For me, the line
echo “” > /var/www/nginx-default/phpinfo.php[\code]
doesn’t work. The directory does not exist. In the settings file , the line
root /usr/share/nginx/www;[\code] can be found.
I’m a noob, but it seems to me that the root directory has moved. (Version 1.1.19

PHP’s FastCGI does not spawn a separate process for every processed request. This is how CGI works and FastCGI was designed to mitigate this.

The variable PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS says how many requests will a single php-cgi process serve before quitting. After that the process quits and another one is spawned (keeping up to PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN parallel processes at any time).

PS: you can also activate chroot for php-fpm… if you want protect other websites…

I use “Nginx” + “PHP5-fpm” and not “php-fastcgi” because it is faster… than create a php-fastcgi process and quit this process for every php-data… my howto -> http://suckup.de/blog/2010/07/31/nginx-php5-fpm-auf-debianubuntu/ (only in German, but there is a example)
