PHP-FPM 503 errors (EA4)

[divemasterza]

I have followed the instructions for configuring PHP-FPM here Configure PHP-FPM with User Pools for EasyApache 4 - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

Firstly PHP Info report server API as FPM/fcgi --> all good but I am getting 503 errors now.

Secondly the docs seems to cover only the main domains, how can this be implemented for subdomains (after I figured out the 503 errors obviously )

I figured out the 503 issues ...

mkdir -p /home/$<user>/run/

I ran this as root and obviously the owner was root and not the user ...

A missing step also missing from the docs is the session.save_path (line 225 of the $<user>.conf file)

I had to:

• Change to value to /home/$<user>/tmp/session
• mkdir -p /home/$<user>/tmp/session
• chown $<user>:$<user> /home/$<user>/tmp/session

I'll probably need also to set up a cron to cleanup this /session once a day

I see a noticeable speed improvement for websites running FPM/FastCGI API especially relating to TTFB


I hope that once EA4 is fully released in 11.56, we can look forward for a script to automate this

Now figuring out the subdomains issue...

Hi divemasterza

any luck with the subdomain problem?

 

[divemasterza]

Actually yes

let say the subdomain is --> sub.example.com

create the following two directories:

mkdir -p /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/std/2_4/$<user>/sub.example.com
mkdir -p /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/ssl/2_4/$<user>/sub.example.com

place an fpm.conf in each of these:

<IfModule proxy_fcgi_module>
ProxyPassMatch "^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$" "unix:/home/$<user>/run/php56-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1/home/$<user>/public_html/sub"
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>

rebuild http conf and restart

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf; /scripts/restartsrv_httpd

To test:

echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > /home/$<user>/public_html/sub/info.php

Look at the output in your browser it should say FPM/FastCGI in the server API

Yeah i fixed the same just before you posted that.

How to install PHP 7 on a cPanel/WHM driven server without breaking everything

if you add --enable-opcache --enable-fpm to the ./configure part you can basically drop in php7 php-fpm as a replacement for the old php practically using all your existing php-fpm configurations.

its blazingly fast!
