Nginx + PHP-FPM farm

clusternginxphp-fpm

I have a setup with two small servers running nginx serving as proxy and a number of Apache+mod_php beefy servers. I am thinking on going over to PHP-FPM. Can I configure nginx to use a number of FastCGI servers? Or PHP-FPM itself to use workers on different machines? Or do I need to run nginx on the workers?

Best Answer

no you can run 1 nginx machine and many php-fpm machines.

upstream php {
  server 10.0.0.1:9000;
  server 10.0.0.2:9000;
  server 10.0.0.3:9000;
}

Then in your locaction

fastcgi_pass php;
