Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/issues/253

Describe the bug
I tried to enable PHP in a site, by adding the php template, but I get the error:
open() "/etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf" failed (2: No such file or directory) when saving the site

To Reproduce
Create a docker image with the following docker-compose:

version: '2.0'
services:
  nginx:
    image: uozi/nginx-ui
    restart: always
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/London
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
    volumes:
      - ./nginx:/etc/nginx
      - ./nginx-ui:/etc/nginx-ui
      - ./www:/var/www

Setup a site with an index.php file in the root, include the php template.
Expected behavior
The site can be saved.

Info (please complete the following information):

Server OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1
Server Arch: x86_64
Nginx UI Version: How do I tell?
Your Browser: Chrome

Additional context
I assume that there needs to be a fast-cgi container running, but there is no point in having the PHP template if such a container is not included in the suggested docker-compose file.

PHP is not included in Nginx UI docker image, you have to install it manually.

You can easily do this by using a second container with php-fpm and mounting the index.php in both containers. In the site-config you only have to create the connection to the docker-container from php-fpm. It is important that both containers are in the same docker-compose file.
