Hi there and thanks for the great forum and software 🙂 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 🙂 Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Current recommended /state of the art PHP + Nginx stack?](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,70225,70225#msg-70225)** > > Hi there and thanks for the great forum and software :) 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... ---

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. > **[PHP 5.3.2 is available too!](https://www.dotdeb.org/2010/03/08/php-5-3-2-is-available-too/)** > > A few days ago, the PHP Group released PHP 5.3.2.

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? 🙂 Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: Current recommended /state of the art PHP + Nginx stack?](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,70225,70352#msg-70352)** > > Hi there and thanks for the great forum and software :) 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...
