The php5-cgi (until 5.2.4) package does not include a script to automatically start it in external FASTCGI Mode (Daemon mode).
As there is some confusion on the Internet on how to properly set PHP script execution in the Nginx Web server, I am attaching the script that we reliably use at our UBUNTU Linux <http://ubuntu.com/> servers. We use Upstart, the Ubuntu's native event-based replacement for the sysvinit daemon. This how we set it up: sudo tee /etc/event.d/php-fastcgi <<-\EOA # /etc/event.d/php-fastcgi # php-fastcgi - starts php-cgi as an external FASTCGI process start on runlevel 2 start on runlevel 3 start on runlevel 4 start on runlevel 5 stop on runlevel 0 stop on runlevel 1 stop on runlevel 6 exec /usr/bin/sudo -u www-data PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=5 PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=125 /usr/bin/php-cgi -q -b 127.0.0.1:9000 respawn EOA sudo chmod u+x /etc/event.d/php-fastcgi sudo initctl start php-fastcgi # start php-fastcgi sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart sudo initctl status php-fastcgi # check if upstart is supervising ps aux | grep cgi # check the php-cgi running processes sudo initctl stop php-fastcgi # stop php-fastcgi and all its childs. Regards, M. This is how we install it in Ubuntu/Debian(sudo enabled): sudo nano /etc/init.d/php-fastcgi # copy and paste the text between the "--- cut here ---" to this file and save it (<CTRL>+x, Y, <ENTER>). sudo chmod u+x /etc/init.d/php-fastcgi sudo chown 0.0 /etc/init.d/php-fastcgi sudo update-rc.d php-fastcgi defaults 21 23 I hope it may also help you at your setups.
