    NGINX vs FastCGI

    Hello everyone, I installed ISPConfig according to the instructions: https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-7-x86_64-nginx-dovecot-ispconfig-3

    After installation, I noticed that adding an additional version of PHP that works on FastCGI doesn't work. I verified the installation and configuration of fcgiwrap and spawn-fcgi as described in this section: https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-...-nginx-dovecot-ispconfig-3#-install-nginx-php -phpfpm-and-fcgiwrap

    However, after adding an additional version, the way it works on me is the Apache version on another server. The problem is that ISPConfig does not see the presence of FastGCI at all when creating the website, it only offers me Default and PHP-FPM. See screenshots.

    Thank you all for the tips. Screenshot_723.jpg Screenshot_722.jpg

    Nginx uses PHP-FPM only, there is no FastCGI as it is used on older Apache systems.

    If I understand correctly, only FPM is always used, with the fact that fcgiwrap and spawn-fcgi will become "something like FPM working" like "fastcgi? FPM working like fast-cgi? I understand that right? Thanks you.

    You mix up PHP and cgi (like perl) scripts here. fcgiwrap and spawn-fcgi are not related to the use of PHP at all, they are needed for CGI scripts in websites, not for PHP.
