fastcgi...

[toshog]

hi all...

i'm trying to get php 5.3.3 to behave. until now i'v been using mostly apache and now trying the nginx server. the problem is that nginx wants php to run through the fastcgi wrappers.

there is a lot of contradicting stuff on google. like php5-cgi, php-cgi, php-fpm, etc...

i installed php with --enable-fpm. that should have taken care of it... have php-cgi running. nginx connecting. everything kinda ok. the problem is that the session module isn't working. i didn't use --dissable-session. and usually when building with apache the session has never been a problem. but now with the cgi it doesn't work.... why is that?

thanks...

so.... not sure what exactly is wrong but something is...

what happens is that when i build without the fpm i get a php-cgi in the bin directory. and the make install output looks like (in between other lines):
Installing PHP SAPI module: cgi

but if i do install with fpm i get:

Installing PHP SAPI module: fpm

but no php-fpm or similar in the system bin...

there is some basic info on php.net here:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.php

but not much of inspiration...

any help with this would be appreciated...

thanks...
