Change the communication protocol between NginX and PHP-FPM

Unix domain socket seems to be much better than TPC for the communication protocol between NginX and PHP-FPM so I changed the config of them like this.

$ vi /etc/php-fpm-5.6.d/www.conf

; listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
listen = /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm-5.6.sock
listen.mode = 0660

$ vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/cookstar.conf

#            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm-5.6.sock;

After changed the config of them, we need restart the processes. At the timing we restart PHP-FPM, php-fpm-5.6.sock is generated.

$ service php-fpm-5.6 restart
$ service nginx restart

Then I confirmed it communicates via Unix domain socket.

$ netstat -a --unix
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     1441769 /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm-5.6.sock
