Question How to specify PHP-FPM.SOCK file

Zoo3

Regular Pleskian
Please tell me how to specify PHP-FPM.SOCK file.

In the config file in /opt/plesk/php/7.1/etc/php-fpm.d:
For example, it is set as follows.

listen = /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock
listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx
listen.mode = 0660​

nginx.conf:
upstream php-handler {
server unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
}​

If I set this up, I get a 502 Bad Gateway error.
Even if I set "server 127.0.0.1:9000" "listen=127.0.0.1:9000" it is an error.

How should I specify in Plesk?


My emvironment:
Plesk 17.0.17, CentOS 7.3, PHP 7.1.10, nginx 1.11.10.

Could you please explain why do you need to specify this? Actually php-fpm.sock files already exist for your vhosts as /var/www/vhosts/system/domain.com/php-fpm.sock

Thank you for reply.
I'm using nextcloud. When I reviewed the settings, I noticed that php-fpm.sock was not in /var/run/php-fpm/.
Because I'm still running Nextcloud, I think that it is not a fatal problem.

I specify "/var/www/vhosts/system/domain.com/php-fpm.sock" in nginx.conf.
Is this correct?
