SOLVED Chkservd showing apache_php_fpm down

[perfektion]

Hey Guys,

I am receiving emails from chkservd on my cPanel server every 5 minutes or so indicating that apache_php_fpm is down. I have attempted to restart the service with /scripts/restartsrv_apache_php_fpm, and while it appears to restart fine i continue to get alerts.

A quick check of the running processes indicates that php_fpm is running on the system, however i think this may be for user PHP and it is system PHP that is having issues:

[[email protected] ~]# ps aux | grep fpm

My system configuration is below:

[email protected] leigh]# grep '' /etc/redhat-release /usr/local/cpanel/version /var/cpanel/envtype ; grep CPANEL= /etc/cpupdate.conf ; httpd -v ; php -v ; mysql -V

I beleive that these errors only started showing up from the most recent update from build 10 to build 15, however i may be wrong here.

Any guidance would be appreciated, as i have not been able to find much on the net or in cPanel Community Forums

Thanks Heaps!

Further to the above i have just noticed the following in the log file "/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/var/log/php-fpm/error.log":

I have tried googling around, but found nothing of major significance :S

Opened a cPanel Ticket, ID: 8247517

This has been resolved with the assistance of cPanel Tech support.

The log files located in:

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/php-fpm/error.log
/var/cpanel/php-fpm/CPANELUSERNAME/logs/error.log

were not being particularly useful in this situation.

It appears that the issues was being caused by corrupt php configurations located in
/opt/cpanel/ea-php{version}/root/etc/php-fpm.d/

I switched the accounts over to another PHP Handler and disabled FPM on all accounts, then backing up and removing this files out of the configuration and running the following afterwards:

/scripts/restartsrv_apache_php_fpm --check

and then restarting PHP-FPM

/scripts/restartsrv_apache_php_fpm

Has since resolved the issue.

Much appreciated support from cPanel as always.
