does FastCGI work with PHP? It looks like some people working with Ruby on Rails have problems with FastCGI, but is that good with PHP?

I'm using FastCGI (via php-cgi) with Cherokee for PHP and it's just great. No problems.

I would definitely recommend installing xcache at the same time. The performance boost will result in your socks being removed the next week.

I just saw you asking about Apache in one of the comments. I don't know why you would choose FastCGI over mod_php. The performance difference would be almost invisible, but I'm sure mod_php will be slightly faster (and a ton easier to configure).



Okay, I honestly thought it was. Then I read the following: http://www.gnegg.ch/2006/08/mod_php-lighttpd-fastcgi-whats-fastest/

And it looks like Apache + FastCGI is faster than Apache + mod_php. Odd.

Lighttpd uses FastCGI by default for PHP as the only option is to use CGI and it works flawlessly.

We run our internal intranet application using PHP and lighttpd using fastcgi and it works without issue.

Find a good tutorial here (Linux): http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/lighttpd-php-fastcgi-configuration.html
