Hi, I have an odd problem.

I’ve tried both .8.54 and .9.4 and on both if i refresh a page after a  
few times it just locks up and I have to close all nginx processes and  
restart it.

I’m using it with PHP 5.3 fast-cgi but I never have to restart the php  
fast-cgi, just nginx.

I can’t seem to find any information anywhere so I’m hoping I can get  
some troubleshooting from here.

Thanks,  
Mike

OK it only seems to do this if i set worker\_processes more than 1 but I  
have 4 cores so adding 3 shouldn’t be a problem but it seems that more  
threads doesn’t help.
