Yes, you don’t need the unix: part for network passthrough so it’s just “fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;”. I think the deal is sockets are faster and can be protected through filesystem permissions while 127.0.0.1:9000 is simpler to setup being just numbers. You’d need like thousands of request per second before socket performance pulls away so they’re identical for your purposes.

No, the listening server should create the socket. Maybe 60% down on that page the guy realizes he’s been editing the config files for php5.4-fpm but running php5.3. After clearing that up the server creates the socket as expected.
