Nginx codeigniter setup

Question

I'm trying to set up Nginx to serve CodeIgniter as per the official docs: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/recipes/codeigniter. The problem is, I have no clue what the directive fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000 is supposed to do. I mean, there's nothing running on port 9000 on my machine (or is there? How can I be sure?). How do I set this up?

The fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000 is a directive that lets NGINX know that it has to pass the requests to the PHP Fast CGI processor. For this directive to work you will have to install the PHP-FPM module and configure it.

Thank you. Can you point me to a tutorial or something that shows how to configure PHP-FPM for this case? – ankush981 Aug 11 '17 at 05:39
