Problems with fastcgi php migration

[Ian M. Evans]

As I wrote earlier:

Not sure why it's ignoring the index index.shtml index.php

I've set up a test server at :8088 that's nginx/fastcgi

When I try to get it to find the index.shtml at /emmy I get:
"GET /emmy/ HTTP/1.1" 404 36

With nginx fronting apache:
"GET /emmy/ HTTP/1.1" 200 3042

Otherwise things seem to be working as expected. So the outstanding 
issues are:

1) Can't find index
2) Isn't parsing custom 404 as PHP.

Thanks to all...I'm getting there. :-)
