Install Nginx with PHP 5.3.10 and PHP-FPM on Fedora 16/15/14
PHP-FPM is easier to use and configure than FastCGI and some tests says that PHP-FPM is even much more efficient than FastCGI.
Nginx (engine x) is a robust, small and high performance http server, reverse proxy server and also mail proxy server.
PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites.
