Hello, I am struggling with the configuration of ngx\_supervisord. My goal is to use that module to spawn instance of a C++ fastcgi program on demand. What puzzles me is that from the example ([GitHub - FRiCKLE/ngx\_supervisord: nginx module providing API to communicate with supervisord and manage (start/stop) backends on-demand.](http://github.com/FRiCKLE/ngx_supervisord)), I understand the changes I have to make to the nginx.conf file but what about the /etc/supervisord.conf file; should I have a section for [fcgi-program]? > From the example it looks like that I should have a [program section but > it also appears that I need one for reach of the backend, which is > strange because I am relying on ngx\_supervisord to start those backens > as needed. > Maybe a few words to help me clarify the whole thing or maybe a pointer > to some configurations serving my goal Thanks Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[ngx\_supervisord configuration](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,117953,117953#msg-117953)** > > Hello, I am struggling with the configuration of ngx\_supervisord.
