great article, can’t wait to try it.. i’ve been having some performance issues on IIS6 / PHP. So I will try out wincache on there, with fastcgi.

I’m not sure if this script is out-dated. But I will try applying this to my new website. PHP-FPM is really awesome.
It store functions in the memory, so it really fast !

Hi, I need to rebuild a huge website on Drupal which able to handle 18000 Concurrent active users..
Do you think that NGINX + PHP-FPM + APC is still the best solution?

Great article.
I tried to follow your hints to compile PHP (5.3.6) on a CentOS 5, but I am unable to find any
php.ini-recommended file.Actually the only php.ini* file I see in the system is /etc/php.ini

I really do not understand it when people make sweeping statements like
>suffice to say, it can lead to major headaches, so we want to do what we can to avoid those headaches.
I would really appreciate if you can give a concrete description of those headache cases as well. I can also make a statement like, Before 5.3.6 no guy would like to run php-fpm because the distros do not support it and from a security perspective it is just pesky to maintain packages on your own. Also, spawn scripts from lighty were a standard way to run PHP fastcgi with nginx and I never had issues with them. There are advantages and disadvantages of every approach and people should refrain from making motherhood statements and instead just give data.

Gawd, nginx rox so hard. Apache2 was great, it did it’s job to defeat Microsoft take over of the internet, but along with that comes old age and cruft. nginx is just beautiful and modern. My next replacement will be of MySQL using DRIZZLE. nginx+php-fpm+drizzle and your talkin speed freak less memory less filling baby.

I didn’t use this method, I used a combination of ‘official’ pages from Ubuntu and Nginx documentation. But nowhere can I find any direction on how to get the HTML PHP script tags working inside an HTML page. I’m really rusty on this part of web server set up and am used to Apache mod_php set up. Doesn’t anyone use PHP like that anymore?

This is FANTASTIC!!!

Given the release of 10.04 LTS and new releases of nginx, php-fpm and apc – would you consider updating the script?
Thanks so much!
