It seems to be universally recommended to run Nginx as a reverse proxy in front of Apache but there seems to be a devision in opinion on whether Apache + mod_php or Nginx are better for serving dynamic requests and ditto with php+fpm vs fastcgi when using Nginx to serve PHP.
Can anyone offer any good pointers or advice?
Thanks,
Ian

you can use php-fpm instead of fastcgi. I use nginx + php-fpm for my site with about 40 000 visitors and about 1 000 000 pages per day.
