Hi,

This is probably Off Topic . But I think most people use php-fpm for php  
with nginx and thought people here could really help

I have a strange issue of php.fpm parsing a file ending in .ini whereas  
this .ini file doesnt have anything to do with php

as per nginx error log :

\*26 FastCGI sent in stderr: “PHP message: WARNING: You have errors in  
you  
INI file  
(/home/xxxxx/public\_html/xxx/etc/xxxxx/magiczoomplus.settings.ini)  
on line 1!”

I renamed the file and the error was gone .

So the question is - does php-fpm look for files ending in .ini ; if so  
how  
to disable that and does this default behavior slow down things ?

Thanks
