This post is a report on my recent experiment getting EE to run well on a Nginx/PHP-FPM/PHP5.3.3+, no-Apache2 setup. I'm new to EE, but not server administration, with plenty of experience using Apache2.


However, after seeing the excessive RAM usage by Apache2 on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS virtual server, (ve) @ MediaTemple.net , I wanted to look into deploying my first EE site on a more lightweight, but still robust setup, capable of scaling well. After working with EE for a bit, and finding out just how cool it is, I thought I'd share my results of trying this with Nginx 1.x.


The point of this post is to garner input from other EE server admins to refine these Nginx configs, with the hopeful outcome of generating, as much as possible, a 'config-and-drop-in' Nginx setup. While setting up current versions of Nginx and PHP-FPM are not within the scope of this posting...
