php-fpm / proxy_fcgi

Hello,

We have a problem with fpm setup.

Server details
/etc/redhat-release: CentOS release 6.9 (Final)
/usr/local/cpanel/version: 11.68.0.14
/var/cpanel/envtype: standard

All packages installed

yum list installed | grep fpm

ea-apache24-mod_proxy_fcgi.x86_64                2.4.29-1.1.2.cpanel   @EA4

apachectl -M | grep proxy
 proxy_module (shared)

 proxy_http_module (shared)

Problem: FPM works for user John and doesn'r work for user Bob.

PHP-FPM is turned on like this: Software - MultiPHP Manager - user select - PHP-FPM - On

User John is able to use CGI and PHP-FPM. "Server API" in phpinfo is "FPM/FastCGI".
User Bob is able to use only CGI. Even if PHP-FPM is enabled. "Server API" in phpinfo is "CGI/FastCGI".

I've found only one entry "proxy_fcgi_module" in /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf for user John.

<IfModule proxy_fcgi_module>
        <FilesMatch \.(phtml|php[0-9]*)$>
            SetHandler proxy:unix:/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/var/run/php-fpm/ed2ffbb8394c52fc41e77d7bda3f9fe35db9042f.sock|$
        </FilesMatch>
    </IfModule>

There is no PHP-FPM/SetHandler for user Bob. Just for user John.

When I switch to PHP-FPM in MultiPHP Manager Apache configuration file do not update.

What could cause this behavior?

Thank you.

Hello,

Are both users assigned the same version of PHP? Also, do you happen to have FCGId enabled from the EA4 experimental repo on this system? It's documented at:

Apache Module: FCGId - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

Hello,

We have mod_cgi and mod_proxy_fcgi (it was installed by EA4 automatically as depency for phpXX-php-fpm package).

We can't use mod_fcgid (FCGId) in production enviroment as it experimental at this moment.

What we have now:
System PHP Version (global) is set to ea-php56

PHP Version | PHP Handler
ea-php56 | cgi
ea-php70 | cgi
ea-php71 | dso

Both users can switch to any version (cgi or dso).

But when I manually turn on PHP-FPM for second user it doesn't work for some reason. First user is OK.
WHM and cPanel shows that PHP-FPM is on, there is fpm config, socket file for fpm pool and so on.
But it doesn't update Apache configuration file. When it switched to PHP-FPM there should be lines like "IfModule proxy_fcgi_module" but those lines creates only for first user. Even if PHP-FPM is turned on second user uses cgi as PHP handler, not PHP-FPM.

Maybe there's something wrong with cPanel-Apache template? It would be great if there some magic script in /scripts/ folder

Problem solved. Ticket ID 9050009. Thank you!

To update, this was the result of a custom Apache template. Reverting to the default template looks to have solved the issue.

Thank you.
