• 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.

Question PHP-FPM when running Nginx as a reverse proxy in front of Apache

Mike2017

New Pleskian
Hello,
I am running Nginx as a reverse proxy in front of Apache on my VPS (Plesk 17/Ubuntu 14.04) and I don't have PHP-FPM enabled. AFAIK, PHP-FPM is the gateway interface for Nginx for processing dynamic PHP, but with Nginx running as a proxy it never processes dynamic PHP, these are processed by Apache. Therefore, I am not enabling PHP-FPM support...
Yet, I recently came across Plesk FAQ re running Apache with Nginx (see it here) and on this page there is a picture of running services (in Nginx with Apache mode) that shows PHP-FPM enabled... Am I misunderstanding how PHP-FPM module works or I should just disregard this Plesk FAQ picture?
Sorry, I am still a newbie in VPS management/config issues, so my apologies if I'm asking something obvious/stupid :)

Mike
