About one month ago I had set up a new server configuration, since then  
I  
struggle with an annoying temporary error.  
Most of the time everything works fine, but after some period of time, I  
sometimes receive “File not found” errors when I try to acces a PHP  
file.

access log:  
a.b.c.d - - [20/Jan/2013:13:14:38 +0100] “GET /intern/phpMyAdmin/  
HTTP/1.1”  
404 47 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86\_64; rv:18.0)  
Gecko/20100101  
Firefox/18.0” “-”  
a.b.c.d - - [20/Jan/2013:13:14:39 +0100] “GET /intern/phpMyAdmin/  
HTTP/1.1”  
200 2378 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86\_64; rv:18.0)  
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0” “-”

error log:  
2013/01/20 13:14:38 [error] 26428#0: \*6892 FastCGI sent in stderr:  
“Primary  
script unknown” while reading response header from upstream, client:  
a.b.c.d, server: [abc.de](http://abc.de), request: “GET /intern/phpMyAdmin/ HTTP/1.1”,  
upstream: “fastcgi://127.0.0.1:10000”, host: “[abc.de](http://abc.de)”

Two request, the first on throws an error, the second one is fine.  
So there is only one of the two php-fpm workers affected?  
Since it is working most of the time, I don’t think it has something to  
do  
with file permissions?

Perhaps someone has an idea whats wrong with my configuration?

Thanks in advance!
