don't use spawn-fcgi as i've had first hand problems with it not behaving properly.

instead if you won't use php-fpm, just make a script that basically does php-cgi -b $port (for TCP) - you can add in the environment variables and sudo to make it run better - i wound up creating upstart jobs in ubuntu (i think ~ 7.10 this is available)

this is my /etc/event.d/fastcgi-mike file:

start on runlevel 2 start on runlevel 3 start on runlevel 4 start on runlevel 5

stop on shutdown

env PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=250 env PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=5

respawn exec /usr/bin/sudo -u mike /usr/local/bin/php-cgi -b 10500

this allows for: - running as a different user id - one file per pool - auto startup on boot - "stop fastcgi-mike" and "start fastcgi-mike" for stopping/starting and it cleans it up properly - proper environment variable support, as opposed to my experience with spawn-fcgi ignoring PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS for example

php-fpm is the #1 option. #2 would be something like this (trigger it how you like but this provides all the options one could want)
