3. PHP-FPM socket

FastCGI Process Manager - controll PHP processes.

 

:: socket ::

Instead of using TCP port 127.0.0.1:9000 we want to use the socket. Then in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf file instead

listen = 127.0.0.1:9000

put

listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock

 

After command #service php5-fpm restart file /var/run/php5-fpm.sock is created.

 

Notice: We don't have to configure this if it is configured by default PHP installation.

 

In  /etc/nginx/includes/php.conf put:

#### /etc/nginx/includes/php.conf ####

# enabling PHP through php-fpm
location ~ \.php$ {
  try_files $uri =404;
  fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
  fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
  #fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
  fastcgi_index index.php;
  include fastcgi.conf;
}

 

Check PHP with phpinfo().

- U /usr/share/nginx/html/phpinfo.php staviti <?php phpinfo() ?>
