non-chroot nginx/php-fpm

[Oko]

OpenBSD 5.8 release. I am having little trouble getting PHP working with nginx in non-chroot a.k.a. unsecure mode

nginx -u

Namely from little that I read I figured out that commenting out chroot line using ; in /etc/php-fpm.conf and restarting php_fpm would be enough to get PHP working in insecure mode

; Default Value: not set
; chroot = /var/www

However that seems not to be the case even though html code works fine in insecure mode. Any clues?
I also tried to edit nginx.conf with

replacing

fastcgi_pass        unix:run/php-fpm.sock;

with

fastcgi_pass        unix:var/www/run/php-fpm.sock;

or with

fastcgi_pass        unix:/var/www/run/php-fpm.sock;

I don't run nginx outside of a chroot environment, so don't have direct experience to relate. However, *if* the problem is the socket file location, you can circumvent it with a loopback TCP connection instead.
