Current recommended /state of the art PHP + Nginx stack?

Hi there and thanks for the great forum and software :slight_smile:

I’ve been running lighttpd for a while but it’s giving me too much
downtime with spawn-fcgi and the frequent 500 server errors…so I’d
like to move over to nginx

What’s the current recommended stack/setup to run Nginx? it’s for a
webserver with a community application similar to a forum, so not too
much static content, lots of php and lots of mysql

For example, nginx + php-fpm all under supervisord?

Up to now I’ve been using monit + lighttpd + spawn-fcgi but I’m not
completely happy with that…

If any of you have found a stack they’re completely happy wight, I’d
like to hear it :slight_smile:

i use nginx 0.8.x and php 5.2.13 w/ php-fpm patch + suhosin patch and
it’s rock solid. no supervisord or anything

If you’re using debian/ubuntu then dotdeb.org has PHP 5.3.2 in their
repository based on the php.net svn with php-fpm already compiled in.
No compiling required, just apt-get. (and a couple manual packages for
ubuntu because of naming differences from debian) It’s been working
well, though some Drupal contrib modules needed some minor PHP 5.3
compatibility patches.

I’m actually using centos since it’s well supported by virtualmin, I’ve
found a “rusia repo” (search it on google) that lets you install nginx +
php-fpm automatically…
So what are you using to keep it up in case nginx or php-fpm goes down?
monit or supervisord? :slight_smile:
