Nginx php cgi interpreter

Server NGINX
1

Hi all,

I’m just trying to configure nginx to use use php, but it seemed too
complicated.

Why is it so complicated to tell nginx to use php-cgi interpreter [1]?
When compared to mongoose it is just a matter of setting the
cgi_interpreter variable [2] to the path of php-cgi?

[1] -

[2] - Mongoose :: Documentation

Best regards,

That guide seems obsolete. Use the php5-fpm package,

looks like a more up to date guide (skip the mysql part if it isn’t
needed).

Hey! Thanks a lot! I was able to configure it following this tutorial.

My nginx conf ended up being like the attached file.

The only thing I have had to change from it was the
unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock back to 127.0.0.1:9000.

From /usr/local/nginx/logs/error.log:
2015/04/21 23:25:47 [crit] 12184#0: *1 connect() to
unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while
