php5

I'm working towards getting NGINX working with PHP5 in fastcgi mode. I've grabbed a config from the net and followed the instructions, and tried starting the service, which throws the message below.

root@zedfastdev:/var/www/nginx-default# /etc/init.d/php-fastcgi restart
 * Restarting php-cgi in external FASTCGI mode php-fastcgi       [fail]
