• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Nginx PHP-FPM override Pool Settings (pm.max_children = 5)

Florian_M

New Pleskian
I've enabled nginx + php-fpm, but plesk writes in
/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/myhostname.tld.conf

pm = ondemand
pm.max_children = 5

Where can i override the pm mechanism (e.g. to dynamic) + increse the pm.max_children value?
 
Yes

; If you need to customize this file, use either custom PHP settings tab in
; Panel or override settings in /var/www/vhosts/system/myhostname.tld/conf/php.ini.
; To override pool configuration options, specify them in [php-fpm-pool-settings]
; section of /var/www/vhosts/system/myhostname.tld/conf/php.ini file.

I've created these files but i cannot override the pm + pm_max_children
Also, there is no php.ini file in the conf folder....
 
Ugh...

Create the aforementioned file with following content:

[php-fpm-pool-settings]
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 9001


Also read the manual and make sure you have all required parameters specified.

Then reconfigure domain using httpdmng or php_settings utility.

I've tried it again, but it doesn't work.

I've created the php.ini file in /var/www/vhosts/system/myhostname.tld/conf/ and rebuilt configs:
[php-fpm-pool-settings]
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 12
pm.start_servers = 7
pm.min_spare_servers = 7
pm.max_spare_servers = 35

But php-fpm is still working under pm = on demand with 5 processes (default settings)
 
i think this bug should be fixed by the parallels team... but no response from them so far.

Can you please fix this bug?
 
Almost 2 years on this issue and they didn't put a response?

I've got into the same issue today for the latest preview version.

I've did a search for some strings related to fpm in all the psa folder.

What I found is that /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng can be used to regenerate all needed files.

example:
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng --reconfigure mydomain.tld

PS.
(/usr/local/psa is for Plesk on Centos/RHEL; in case that you're on Debian/Ubuntu I belive is on /opt/psa)
 
Run this command after you create/modify /var/www/vhosts/system/bethechangetour.com/conf/php.ini:

/usr/local/psa/bin/php_settings -u

It will add your custom settings to the bottom of /opt/plesk/php/5.6/etc/php-fpm.d/domain.conf file.

Then restart php-fpm service.

The Plesk documentation on this stuff is quite terrible.
