Switching b/w versions of PHP on a NginX + PHP-FPM Setup

Question

On Apache you could easily configure it through an htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
Action    php-fcgi    /fcgi-bin/phpcgi-starter-5.3
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
Action    php-fcgi    /fcgi-bin/phpcgi-starter-5.4
</IfModule>

Is there something similar for Nginx + PHP-FPM?

Just run each version of php-fpm on a different port (or socket) and configure the appropriate port in your fastcgi_pass parameter in your nginx server block. For instance, you might have 5.3 run on port 9000 and 5.4 run on port 9001.

but how will php-fpm know which version of PHP to use? – Jürgen Paul Feb 24 '13 at 22:36
You specify which one to connect to in your nginx configuration, exactly as I already said. – Michael Hampton Feb 24 '13 at 22:37
But how do I make 5.3 and 5.4 run on a specific port? – Jürgen Paul Feb 24 '13 at 23:01
You edit the pool configuration and set the `listen` address appropriately. – Michael Hampton Feb 24 '13 at 23:10
