Hi all,

What is best to use (performance-wise) when fpm & nginx are on the
same box: a socket, or a tcp-port?

Greetings,

Unix sockets are supposed to be much faster than tcp-port.
But some people had had a couple of problems with them at the beginning
and thus sockets are looked at as something hard to use or instable...
Well, I'm using them without any problem.

Co-ask, I didn't find much difference with accelerator though. If you use shm, you might have problems, but with Unix socket on /tmp or sth. this should be similar.
