NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       php-fpm [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       PHP  is  a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is espe‐
13       cially suited for Web development and can be embedded into  HTML.  This
14       is  a  variant of PHP that will run in the background as a daemon, lis‐
15       tening for CGI requests. Output is logged to /var/log/php-fpm.log.
16
17       Most options are set in the configuration file. The configuration  file
18       is  /etc/php-fpm.conf. By default, php-fpm will respond to CGI requests
19       listening on localhost http port 9000. Therefore php-fpm  expects  your
20       webserver to forward all requests for '.php' files to port 9000 and you
21       should edit your webserver configuration file appropriately.
22

FILES

79       php-fpm.conf   The configuration file for the php-fpm daemon.
80
81       php.ini        The standard php configuration file.
82

EXAMPLES

84       For any unix systems which use init.d for their main  process  manager,
85       you  should  use the init script provided to start and stop the php-fpm
86       daemon.
87
88              sudo /etc/init.d/php-fpm start
89
90       For any unix systems which use systemd for their main process  manager,
91       you  should  use  the  unit file provided to start and stop the php-fpm
92       daemon.
93
94              sudo systemctl start php-fpm.service
95
96       If your installation has no appropriate  init  script,  launch  php-fpm
97       with  no  arguments. It will launch as a daemon (background process) by
98       default. The file /var/run/php-fpm.pid determines  whether  php-fpm  is
99       already  up and running. Once started, php-fpm then responds to several
100       POSIX signals:
101
102              SIGINT,SIGTERM      immediate termination
103              SIGQUIT             graceful stop
104              SIGUSR1             re-open log file
105              SIGUSR2             graceful reload of all workers +  reload  of
106              fpm conf/binary
107

TIPS

109       The  PHP-FPM  CGI  daemon  will work well with most popular webservers,
110       including Apache2, lighttpd and nginx.
