Get the most recent (stable) PHP Version from http://php.net/downloads.php Extract the files

tar zxf php-x.x.x

cd php-x.x.x
./configure -enable-fpm
make
make install

NOTICE:

You might want to check all avaible options with

./configure --help

Set up the ini files:

tar zxf php-x.x.x

Configure PHP and FPM

Locate "cgi.fix_pathinfo=" in /usr/local/php/php.ini and replace it with

cgi.fix_pathinfo=0

(This prevents nginx from passign non existing files to the PHP-FPM)

Creating the FPM Config Pool

mkdir /etc/php-fpm.d
cp sapi/fpm/www.conf /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf

Editing the default conf

Find and modify the following in the freshly copied www.conf:

; Unix user/group of processes
; Note: The user is mandatory. If the group is not set, the default user's group
;       will be used.
user = www-data
group = www-data

Start it

/usr/local/bin/php-fpm

Configuring NGINX

Configure your nginx with these locations to test your installation (you might want to change your root directorys)

location / {
    root   html;
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;
}
location ~* \.php$ {
        root html;
        fastcgi_index   index.php;
    fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
    include         fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME    $request_filename;
    fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $uri?$args;
    fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
 
 
}

You can test it with the following php Code:

<!--?php
phpinfo();
?-->
