Yeah, grep'ping for fpm shows processes. So that seems in order. On 
Gentoo, under /etc/php/fpm-php5.4, there are .conf files. Not finding any 
pool sub-directory there, though. Not sure where else to look, or what the 
absence of such indicates--if anything.

Here's what I get when I grep /etc/php/fpm-php/php-fpm.conf for the word 
"listen":

mymachine ~ # grep "listen" /etc/php/fpm-php5.4/php-fpm.conf
; Multiple pools of child processes may be started with different listening
; - 'listen' (unixsocket)
;   'ip.add.re.ss:port'    - to listen on a TCP socket to a specific address on
;   'port'                 - to listen on a TCP socket to all addresses on a
;   '/path/to/unix/socket' - to listen on a unix socket.
listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
; Set listen(2) backlog. A value of '-1' means unlimited.
;listen.backlog = -1
; PHP FCGI (5.2.2+). Makes sense only with a tcp listening socket. Each address
listen.allowed_clients = 127.0.0.1
;listen.owner = nobody
;listen.group = nobody
;listen.mode = 0666
listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx
listen.mode = 0666

(The file has obviously been edited to some degree by me) So, would 
changing /etc/nginx/nginx.conf's

fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.socket;

line to

fastcgi_pass unix:127.0.0.1:9000;

work? Can't say I understand this whole sockets thing very well.

Hear, hear. Speaking of which, here's a possibly relevant thread I found 
on the Gentoo forums: 
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-953166-start-0.html The poster 
mentions creating his own socket/file: is that how this is to be handled 
under Gentoo? Did you undertake such a process on your Debian system, 
George? Thanks
