I’m trying to setup Nginx+phpFPM for first time (php5.2) and can’t get  
it  
working. Base system is FreeBSD 9.1.  
So my main configs:

nginx.conf - [user www www;worker\_processes 2;error\_log /var/log/nginx/error.log crit;pi - Pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com/KwhHr0NK)  
php-fpm.conf - [\<?xml version="1.0" ?\>\<!-- $FreeBSD: ports/lang/php52/files/php-fpm.conf.sampl - Pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com/KQBwp3KL)  
vhost config - [server { listen 80; server\_name www.smak.org; rewrite - Pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com/qyFzc9Xa)

Nginx started and working as i may see output from phpinfo(), but if i  
put  
something comlex, eg. CMS like Drupal, WP, Joomla it generates HTTP 500  
error.

Also I can’t see any php errors in logs despite they are defined in  
php-fpm.conf
