Running nginx with php-fpm configured to run a php-fpm

Running Apache using mod_fcgid to run php-cgi as a different user from Apache

I ran the Apache benchmarking tool

ab -c 100 -n 10000 http://servername/php_page.php

The php_page.php file has the following in it.

<?php

header('Content-type: text/html');

foreach($_SERVER as $h=>$v)
   if(ereg('HTTP_(.+)|REMOTE_ADDR',$h,$hp))
                echo "<li>$h = $v</li>\n";
?>

The end result was as the table above.

Interestingly ab spawned so many copies of the php-cgi that it quickly ran out of resources on the 512 MB server so I have to figure out how to throttle it so it doesn't fall over.
