Now it's xml and before it's been integrated there were discutions about changing it to nginx. So I bring back the discution here. about multiple syntax it was a proposal which was about to make all users happy but the complexity and the confusion is a good argument, I heard it. So let have the question another way: Do we keep XML or do we switch to something else ? If so, which format ? I and some others think xml is not appropriate here because of the complexity. So I do think there is a need to change. INI or other ? INI is used widely in PHP and users know it. But it's not well adapted for the actual php-fpm configuration organisation. (properties in sections or subsections). If choosed how will it be organized ? If we want something else than XML and INI, we can use ngxin like or yaml configuration file, or other ... We have to decide to go forward here. ++ Jerome
