Resolved Can't set PHP7 as FPM Application served by Nginx, it switches back to php5

[Chuy Sanchez]

Hello.

I'm using Plesk 12.5 on a CentOS 6 server.

I'm trying to set my server to use PHP7 as FPM application served by Nginx. PHP7 works when I set it as Fastcgi apache module. But when I change it to php-fpm nginx, it switches php version back to php5.

I've tried to use the script to reread handlers but it didn't work.
plesk bin php_handler --reread

Any advice would be appreciated.

Could you please show me output of the following command:

# plesk sbin php_handlers_control —list

Also make sure that you have Apache version 2.4 but not 2.2

Also, the installed version of apache is 2.2. But I need nginx as web server, not apache. Is it still mandatory to install apache 2.4? And if it's required, is there a safe way to install it via plesk update or something like that? Or i have to do it manually?

Thanks.

 

[IgorG]

Yes. httpd is package from OS vendor but not from Plesk, therefore you can update it with OS package manager.

Dear Igor!
Thanks to your work here, a have learned a lot from it. Im a hungarian hosting provider, but i can't solve this issue too.

How can i set the fastcgi_pass by the nginx to use the php7 not the OS (5.4.45) version for a certain domain?

Thanks.

cgi 5.4.45 5.4.45 cgi /usr/bin/php5-cgi /usr/bin/php5 /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini * module 5.4.45 5.4.45 module /usr/bin/php5-cgi /usr/bin/php5 /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini * fastcgi 5.4.45 5.4.45 fastcgi /usr/bin/php5-cgi /usr/bin/php5 /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini * fpm 5.4.45 5.4.45 fpm /usr/sbin/php5-fpm /usr/bin/php5 /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini * php5-fpm /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d

As you can see, your VENDOR PHP - version is PHP 5.4.45 on Debian. You could for example use the often used ( and very well supported ) repository from "Ondřej Surý" and replace version 5.4.45 with PHP 5.6 or PHP 7.0 ( now as well 7.1 ).

A nice tutorial can be found at:

Thanks, i know this way, but if plesk can maintane multiple PHP versions, it has to be a solution to use: etc. php 7 on one domain with nginx. Idont prefer to use one PHP version on the whole system.

This could be a good starting pont to this, maybe... >>> http://marcelog.github.io/articles/configure_nginx_php_5.3_5.2_fastcgi.html ( external link, pls. inform me, if the link goes dead, so I can provide another working link )

... and pls. note as well the Plesk - Admin comment:

Current scope for Plesk Onyx is to enable an ability to serve all http(s) requests by Nginx only.

Note: apache will still be installed. Switching of apache to optional component is subject for the next release.

Cant we create somehow a socket to the plesk installed php 7?

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm/DOMAINNAME.socket;

 

[UFHH01]

Hi Adam Dobruczky,

you may create what ever you wish to on your server, but I would rather consider to solve your issue with the domain - specific socket, as for example:

        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass "unix:/var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR-DOMAIN.COM/php-fpm.sock";
        fastcgi_index index.php;

        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;

 

[Adam Dobruczky]

Thanks for your answer, but this problem i still have it on all of my servers!

A attached an image, no matter what php version (5.6 or 7) i choose with the nginx+FPM the websites still use the OS vendor PHP version, what is 5.4.4.
I have spent days to solve this, but i cant, somehow all websites use the same pool /var/run/php-fpm.sock wich point to the OS PHP.

Here is my handlers:


How can is use Nginx + FPM width PHP7?

 

[UFHH01]

Hi Adam Dobruczky,

pls. consider to open your own thread, due to the fact, that the threadstarter uses a different OS than you on his server. Pls. consider as well to include depending errors/issues/problems from your psa - log - file(s) in your new thread, which may be existent, when you change the PHP - handler over your Plesk Control Panel. In addition, consider to investigate errors/issues/problems at your dependind PHP-FPM - log - files ( vendor AND Plesk - PHP-FPM - related log - files, pls. )
