I’m new to nginx but not to web development.  
I have the server configured to do almost everything I need …  
including fastcgi\_pass for Perl on Solaris.  
When requesting any cgi page the browser displays the standard status’s  
“Read servername”, “Waiting for servername” and “Transferring data from  
servername”.  
I have two things that I need to fix.  
Problem 1: The “transferring data…” step takes 1-2 min no matter the  
size of the content, even hello world.  
Problem 2: Any little issue and the fastcgi server socket pids go

## Thanks,

KG

What you describe looks like a problem with FastCGI application  
you are running. You may want to take a closer look there.  
Please note that nginx doesn’t do any management of FastCGI  
applications, it just passes requests to configured backends.
