create vhost with nginx and php5-fpm

1- install the necessary packages
$ sudo apt-get install nginx php5-fpm

2- create site1 configuration for php5-fpm location at /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/site1.conf  with the following content
[site1]

listen = /var/lib/php5-fpm/site1.sock
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
listen.mode = 0660

user = www-data
group = www-data

pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 10
pm.start_servers = 2
pm.min_spare_servers = 1
pm.max_spare_servers = 5
pm.max_requests = 0

chdir = /

php_admin_value[open_basedir] = /var/www/site1/web:/var/www/site1/private:/var/www/site1/tmp
php_admin_value[session.save_path] = /var/www/site1/tmp
php_admin_value[upload_tmp_dir] = /var/www/site1/tmp


4- create nginx vhost file for site1 at location /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/site1.conf with the following content
server {
        listen *:80;


        server_name 123test.domain www.123test.domain;

        root   /var/www/site1/web;



        index index.html index.htm index.php index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml;



        error_log /var/log/httpd/123test.domain/error.log;
        access_log /var/log/httpd/123test.domain/access.log combined;

        location ~ /\. {
            deny all;
            access_log off;
            log_not_found off;
        }

        location = /favicon.ico {
            log_not_found off;
            access_log off;
        }

        location = /robots.txt {
            allow all;
            log_not_found off;
            access_log off;
        }




        location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files /6707658166984386d1d2957b56a8b4d5.htm @php;
        }

        location @php {
            try_files $uri =404;
            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/lib/php5-fpm/site1.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        }
}

5- create all the directory

$ mkdir /var/www/site1 -p
$ mkdir /var/www/site1/web
$ mkdir /var/www/site1/private
$ mkdir /var/www/site1/tmp
$ mkdir /var/lib/php5-fpm
$ mkdir -p /var/log/httpd/123test.domain/
$ echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" >  /var/www/site1/web/index.php

6- restart nginx and php5-fpm restart
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
$ sudo /etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart

if you can not restart php5-fpm with command above, just kill it and start it again
