The fastcgi_pass directive is used to proxy requests to a FastCGI application in Nginx. It specifies the address of the FastCGI server or the path of the Unix-domain socket that will accept FastCGI requests. For example:

location ~ \.php$ { include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; }

This configuration will pass any requests ending with .php to the FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000.

The other options are not valid directives in Nginx. There is no fastcgi_proxy, proxy_fastcgi, proxy_fastcgi_pass, or fastcgi_forward directive. The proxy_pass directive is used to proxy requests to a HTTP server, not a FastCGI application.
