Hi everyone,

I am planning to move away from apache itk + mod_php to nginx and php-fpm. I have a few virtual hosts (less than 10) and unix user-accounts associated with these vhosts. I already found the pool option of fpm which looks like the perfect way for me to match the domains to the uid php will be using.
However right now nginx itself is always running as user www-data so www-data needs read permissions to all static files of all vhosts. Is there a way to configure nginx to use different uid/gids on different domains (so a user directive inside a server block)? This way my users won't bother me that their website isn't running anymore everytime they screw up their file/directory permissions.

Yours Martin
