php-fpm with ISPConfig on apache

[erkan]

Found the solution now! PHP-FPM seems to be working fine now!

Ok PHP-FPM is working now and I have uploaded a test site. But the site isn´t so fast and it seem to be overloading my server. I hade the same problem with normal fcgi, I thought that PHP-FPM wouldn´t overload my server.

Here is my test site: http://www.ffatest.se/

Is there something I can do to make PHP-FPM to not overload my server?

My server is a VPS with 3,5 GB RAM and 2 CPU cores.

I suggest you install munin to find out what's going on. A server like yours shouldn't be overloaded with a simple Apache/PHP-FPM setup (unless you have loads of traffic), so I guess there's a problem somewhere else (maybe slow hard drives?).

It is a test site so it has no more than 5 visitors at one time. I have now installed Munin but I don´t know how to interpret the information. It would be great if you could take a look at it here:

Your system is currently idle, its not overloaded. It can have many different reasons when a site appears slow, e.g. inclusion of external content or javascript scripts that load slow, slow harddisk or programming mistakes in the site scripts.

If you try to access the site now you can see that it is barley loading:

Yes the RAM isn´t overloading right now but the site isn´t loading. If I restart apache the site will work normally for a while again before it stops loading again. If you wait long enough, a couple of hours, the RAM will overload.

If I use mod php instead of PHP-FPM the site will load normally and the RAM will never overload, this only happends when I use FCGI in some form.

There must be a general config issue on your server, the problem is not a php speed problem, maybe related to vlogger. We could have saved yourself a lot of time if you would have posted this indformation first instaed of asking for php-fpm. Check the global apache error.log and the error.log of the website for errors.

Where can I find the apache error log?

I have attached the sites error log.

The log seems to only contain one error but instead there are several hundred rows with that same error. Here it is:
