I used the bash script given on this  
page[http://wiki.nginx.org/PHPFcgiExample#Spawning\_a\_FastCGI\_Process](http://wiki.nginx.org/PHPFcgiExample#Spawning_a_FastCGI_Process),  
after having changed the binding to a UNIX socket (and not a network  
one).

The update-rc configuration tool gives me this output:  
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing  
insserv: warning: script ‘php-cgi’ missing LSB tags and overrides  
insserv: There is a loop between service nginx and php-cgi if stopped  
insserv: loop involving service php-cgi at depth 2  
insserv: loop involving service nginx at depth 1  
insserv: Stopping php-cgi depends on nginx and therefore on system  
facility  
`$all’ which can not be true!  
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!  
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header

I’m not used to the services configuration, but dependencies between  
nginx  
and php seems to be somehow buggy.  
How to fix that in a cleaner way?

## Many thanks,

Sorry for offtopic, but is there any reason to use it instead of  
php-fpm?
