PHP-FPM install problems
 

Hi there, I've followed the instructions to setup an OpenSUSE 12.2 server with Apache and PHP-FPM however PHP-FPM isn't loading. I believe i need to change the path which PHP-FPM is looking at from /usr/var to /var by using the -p argument but being a noob i'm not sure of how to do this. Any assistance would be appreciated...thanks.

Which tutorial (URL) did you use?

The tutorial i used is The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 12.2 x86_64 (Apache2, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3). I've actually worked it out now though...i simply needed to run php-fpm -p /var from the command line to change the default location to /var. It's all working fine now thanks. I interpreted the instructions to run the install with a -p argument which baffled me. It was the word "dynamically" which I missed.

All is not well after all...not able to restart apache2 there appears to be a problem with fastcgi and squirrelmail / php_admin_flags...is there a resolution for this?

Output is below.


server:~ # systemctl status apache2.service

Is mod_php enabled?

Can you post your /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf?

Squirrelmail conf I've not added the aliases as yet but i will be doing that after. Unable to restart apache to confirm if mod_php is enabled.

Comment out all the php_admin_* lines in squirrelmail.conf, restart Apache and then check if mod_php is enabled.

Apologies for delay...
commenting out the php_admin_* lines allows apache to restart but php still isn't running. Running apache2ctl -M does not show php5_module and all php files try to download as opposed to open...

Try to reinstall PHP and restart Apache.

BTW, OpenSUSE is not the recommended distro for use with ISPConfig.

Hi Falko, I've rebuilt my server using Debian and following this tutorial - http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...#comment-33390

and I'm in the process of restarting nginx but i keep getting an error

root@server:~# /etc/init.d/nginx start
Starting nginx: nginxnginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] still could not bind()

In /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ I've editted the default file to listen on 81 but the problem remains.
