Question PHP-FPM still php5-cgi processes

[lucflash]

Hey guys,

after long time of passive member in this community, i have my first question.
On our Webserver (Debian, Plesk 12.5, nginx reverse proxy for apache) wie installed php7 package of plesk team and switched php interpreter to "fpm-process served by nginx"

while we watch at our processes by "top" we still see php5-cgi processes. Is this correct oder did we miss something? PHP modul is still activated in apache (but useless?)

i thought the nginx server processes the request directly to php-fpm, what does the php5-cgi process do? and what job the apache has to do, while php and static content is served by nginx?

i hope you could enlighten me

hey IgorG, thanks for pointing me to the right article
if i understand it right, plesk/nginx/apache detect, that .htaccess rewrite is used and handled the request by apache and in that case by php5-cgi
we dont use .html or .htm suffixes but www.domain.org/product/tshirt

if we remove the htaccess file and transform that rewriting to nginx conf, php5-cgi wont be ask again?
