, I’ve settled on the this for my fastcgi config block within my lighttpd.conf file.
## Start an FastCGI server for php5 (needs the php5-cgi package)
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>;
((
"bin-path" =>; "/usr/bin/php5-cgi",
"socket" =>; "/tmp/php.socket",
"max-procs" =>; 1,
"idle-timeout" =>; 20,
"bin-environment" =>; (
"PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" =>; "2",
"PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" =>; "10000"
),
"bin-copy-environment" =>; (
"PATH", "SHELL", "USER"
),
"broken-scriptfilename" =>; "enable"
))
)
Once I have this in place and running well for a few days I’ll shift over to MySQL and show how I have configured and optimized that for performance.
