I try it, but unsuccessful,

```auto
    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name localhost;
        root /www/linux;
        index index.html index.php index.htm;

        location = /test {
           types {}
           default_type text/html;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
           # fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-cgi.sock;
            fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include fcgi.conf;
        }
    }
```
