eZ publish with fastcgi (lighttpd)…

Sometime ago I talked about
making eZ publish 3.x happy with fastcgi. The original approach is to patch

My point is that, nginx does not provide a fastcgi server as part of it, instead it relys on other programs to act as the fastcgi server. While on the other hand, lighthttpd provide a mod_fastcgi to support it without any other requirements.

Sorry, but AFAIU you don’t understand what FastCGI is… FastCGI software always runs separately from web server and communicates with them via unix sockets or tcp-sockets. Nginx fully supports both methods.

As far as I understand from the doc of nginx, it proxys request to php script to a dedicated fastcgi server, which is another program other than nginx itself.

…it does not support php directly: instead it depends on lighttpd to handle php request.

Sorry, but I thinks that there is some misundestanding… nginx supports FastCGI and can directly use PHP without any third-party software. The only thing you need is some software to run php as fastcgi and ___I___ am using spawn-fcgi from lighttpd, but ypu can try to use google://php+fcgi to find another methods.
