Question PHP7 and php7.0-fpm.sock. How to make it work?

[Gabor H]

Hi,

I've a dedi server from a large server seller/operator in EU. Installed their Debian 8.5+Plesk 12.5 image.
I'd like to use Nginx+PHP7-FPM on several domains.

What I've set for the domain:
-PHP 7.0.10
-run PHP as FPM application via Nginx
-additional nginx directives (just a part of it regarding FPM)


# PHP handling with FPM
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/www/vhosts/system/mydomain.com/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}


This above code is from a forum, not sure whether it's good or not.
If I search for *fpm.sock on a server, I get this result:


/var/www/vhosts/system/mydomain.com/php-fpm.sock
/run/php5-fpm.sock

If I check the content of the ..../php-fpm.sock ,then it's an empty file.

Anyway, as I read on other sources, shouldn't it be php7.0-fpm.sock file name??

If I check the info.php on a given domain, I get this results:

Server API: FPM/FastCGI
Loaded Configuration File: /opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php.ini


So, is my configuration is good for PHP7-FPM, or anything needed to be amended?

In a default Plesk installation there is no need to add additional PHP handling directives to Nginx configuration files/templates. If you omit any additional statements you should be set with PHP 7 FPM running. Adding additional handlers will probably break it.

Ok, I removed the additional nginx directives.

So no need to look for php7.0-fpm.sock?


Is the empty php-fpm.sock file all right??

Yes, that is correct.
