<div dir="ltr">i second mike's notion. using php-fpm is alot easier to manage fastcgi php. I just wish that it would get incorporated into main php release so that it would have good fastcgi support out of the box. <br>

setting up fcgi is simple - both in nginx and php. it's a location<br>
block and a few lines of fastcgi_stuff and you're good to go.<br>

check out php-fpm for how to make running php fcgi engines a snap.<br>
<br>
i'd write more but have to run right now. the wiki has a ton of examples.<br>
