Fastcgi and APC

Server NGINX
1

I’m thinking of dropping my Apache backend (nginx currently handles the
static stuff) and dipping my toes into running php via fastcgi.

  1. Is there any change that needs to be made to the APC code cache
    settings? I thought I read something about there needing to be a change,
    but my Google searches aren’t turning anything up…

  2. Any big surprises or PHP coding changes I need to be aware of if I
    run PHP via fastcgi?

Thanks to all.

We use php-cgi in FCGI server mode with APC and nginx very happily. We
haven’t needed to change anything in the APC config in order to get it
to work with php-cgi, though of course production settings vary
depending on what you want to do.

The is nothing specific to the PHP configuration when PHP is run as
fastcgi. You just need to configure nginx correctly and send the right
fastcgi_param’s and you are all set. I am already running several
servers with just nginx and PHP as a fastcgi and everything is running
just great. Tell me if you want to see my configuration, etc.

How about APC? Is the config the same or are there changes for running
the
opcode cache under fastcgi?

Thanks.

It always happens…your email came in just as I hit send on a reply
asking for clarification re: APC. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the info.
