[/LIST]

But in "MultiPHP Manager" there isn't a fastcgi option in handlers tab. Why?.

Also I have found this documentation Configure PHP-FPM with User Pools for EasyApache 4 - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation and its shows an alert with this...

The information in this document only pertains to cPanel & WHM version 56 and earlier.

and the WHM version in my server is 58, so where is the last version?

And for last, if I want to use the php-fpm I have to create and configure all users, dirs, domains, spools, etc. describen on the docs by hand? (for 300+ users).

Hello,

While it's still possible to follow those instructions, it's highly discouraged because the changes you must make are not compatible with the actual FPM support in cPanel version 60. You can follow the progress for official FPM support at:

Enhance FPM support

An additional feature request is open for mod_fcgid at:

EasyApache 4 mod_fcgid

Thank you.

While it's still possible to follow those instructions, it's highly discouraged because the changes you must make are not compatible with the actual FPM support in cPanel version 60.

So, if one has been running FPM over the last few versions using the previous method, will that completely break when updating to 60? ...or will it continue to work but just require some manual removals of the user.conf and userdata fpm.conf files before activating the newer method on a user by user basis?

Also, the current instructions use the following in the fpm.conf files:

<IfModule proxy_fcgi_module>
 ProxyPassMatch "^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$" "unix:/home/<user>/run/php70-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/home/<user>/public_html/
 DirectoryIndex index.php
 </IfModule>

but I used the following that was recommended offsite for the latter Apache 2.4 versions:

<IfModule proxy_fcgi_module>
 <FilesMatch \.php$>
   SetHandler "proxy:unix:/home/<user>/run/php70-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost"
 </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

... and it did prove to work a lot better and more compatible.

Do you know what method will be used in 60? ...because the ProxyPassMatch method is pretty useless for me since it breaks sites such as wordpress multi-site installs, messes with directory indexes disallowing previously working methods. The SetHandler method doesn't have those problems.

 

[hrace009]

me to little bit confuse with

ProxyPassMatch "^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$" "unix:/home/<user>/run/php70-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/home/<user>/public_html/

and

SetHandler "proxy:unix:/home/<user>/run/php70-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost"

witch one is the correct way?
most common tutorial i look at google, they often use

fcgi://localhost

but cPanel giving different way. perhaps cPanel can give explanation to use
