HowtoForge Forums | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials - Problem running systemctl start php-fpm.service

Hi all,

I'm following;
The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 12.2 x86_64 (Apache2, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3)
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ispconfig-3-p4

building the server on a VM of KVM

Host - Fedora 17 64bit
VM - OpenSuse 12.2 64bit
KVM

There is NOT much problem until coming to;

10.1 PHP-FPM
===========
Next create the system startup links for php-fpm and start it:

# systemctl enable php-fpm.service

Code:

php-fpm.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.

Executing /sbin/chkconfig php-fpm on

# systemctl start php-fpm.service

Code:

Job failed. See system journal and 'systemctl status' for details.

# tail /var/log/messages

Code:
