Making PHP-FPM Use A Unix Socket
By default PHP-FPM is listening on port 9000 on 127.0.0.1. It is also possible to make PHP-FPM use a Unix socket which avoids the TCP overhead. To do this, open '''/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf'''.

12. Edit file
 vi /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

... and make the listen line look as follows:
 [...]
 ;listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
 listen = /tmp/php5-fpm.sock
 [...]

13. Then reload PHP-FPM:
 /etc/init.d/php5-fpm reload
