[Case 46575] FastCGI Process Manager (FPM) SAPI (new in PHP 5.3.3)

[johnny22]

now that php-fpm is part of php itself, how easy is it/ will it be to enable it in easyapache?

I have revised the thread title to better describe the specific feature being requested. At the present time I am not aware of any short-term or long-term plans to officially support the FPM SAPI that was added in PHP version 5.3.3; however, if interest grows substantially and more feedback is received for the feature request then support for the FPM SAPI may be reconsidered in the future.

This thread may serve as the central discussion line for feedback about the FastCGI Process Manager (FPM) SAPI that was added in PHP version 5.3.3; please use this feature request to share any questions, concerns, and thoughts you have regarding implementation, including discussing problems that it may pose, what benefit or usefulness it may or may not have, and what issues are alleviated by supporting the FPM SAPI.

Your detailed feedback and discussion contributions are very much appreciated. Thank you.

For research purposes I would consider reviewing the following resources to obtain more information about the FastCGI Process Manager (FPM) SAPI included in PHP version 5.3.3:

• PHP: ideas:fastcgiwork [PHP Wiki]
  
  • PHP: rfc:fpm [PHP Wiki]
    
    • PHP: rfc:fpm:ini_syntax [PHP Wiki]
• PHP: Installation and Configuration - Manual
  
  • PHP: FastCGI Process Manager (FPM) - Manual
    
    • PHP: Installation - Manual
    • PHP: Configuration - Manual
• PHP :: Bugs :: Search :: FPM related
• Home - PHP-FPM
  
  • About - PHP-FPM
  • Community - PHP-FPM
    
    • highload-php-en | Google Groups
    • #PHP-FPM IRC channel on Freenode

For information about using custom configure flags for PHP, via EasyApache, I recommend the following documentation:

• Apache & cPanel/WHM
  
  • Apache and PHP Customization
    
    • Using Custom Configure Flags
      As a specific example, you may consider creating a file at the following path to contain your custom configure flags that are specific to PHP version 5.3.3:
      

      /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/PHP-5.3.3

      Here are example commands that can be used, via root SSH access, to setup and then verify the EasyApache rawopts file for PHP version 5.3.3:
      

      # echo '--enable-fpm' > /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/PHP-3.3.3
      # cat /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/PHP-3.3.3

[pricejn2]

Has anyone had any success with this method?

I can successfully configure PHP 5.3.3 with FPM enabled via the rawopts method but it seems to force a '--disable-cgi'

I tried putting an '--enable-cgi' flag in the rawopts file to override this but it did not work. Just to clarify, CGI is checked in the PHP exhaustive options list.

Any thoughts?

[pricejn2]

UPDATE:

I was blaming --enable-fpm for the --disable-cgi flag but after more testing it seems that there are just outright issues with EasyApache on my server. I really can't explain how/why these --disable-cgi flags appear....but thats for another thread.

On a related note, +1 to fpm support within cPanel

I can get it to run.

What is PHP-FPM?

PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites.

These features include:

* Adaptive process spawning (NEW!)
* Basic statistics (ala Apache's mod_status) (NEW!)
* Advanced process management with graceful stop/start
* Ability to start workers with different uid/gid/chroot/environment and different php.ini (replaces safe_mode)
* Stdout & stderr logging
* Emergency restart in case of accidental opcode cache destruction
* Accelerated upload support
* Support for a "slowlog"
* Enhancements to FastCGI, such as fastcgi_finish_request() - a special function to finish request & flush all data while continuing to do something time-consuming (video converting, stats processing, etc.)


... and much more.

UPDATE
PHP-FPM is now included in PHP core as of PHP 5.3.3: http://www.php.net/archive/2010.php#id2010-07-22-2

To enable it, PHP has to be compiled with "--enable-fpm".

Would be cool for cPanel to integrate support for building your server with PHP-FPM enabled in EasyApache.

Are custom configure flags not working for you? If you're not familiar with how to do this, here's some related documentation: Using Custom Configure Flags

Since EA/WHM have such tight integration with PHP loaders, it would be nice to see this have it's own option, especially given the maturity of the 5.3.x branch now.

[cPanelDon]

I've merged the new PHP-FPM thread into the existing feature request where an EasyApache option for the PHP FastCGI Process Manager (FPM) SAPI is already requested.

[DjiXas]

+111

[cPanelDavidG]

To summarize, everyone here just wants us to add a checkbox in EasyApache that adds the flag --enable-fpm when compiling PHP?

[DjiXas]

Yes

+1 for this option. I hope it will be implemented before I will have to change server management system because of this
