Configure PHP-FPM¶
Copy Original PHP-FPM Configuration File(s)¶
We recommend you only copy the domain(s) configuration file you want to use the additional PHP version. We are using version 7.2 in this example:
cp /etc/php-fpm.d/examplecom.conf /etc/opt/remi/php72/php-fpm.d/examplecom.conf
Edit The Copied File(s)¶
Ensure you change the following lines in the copied PHP-FPM configuration file, using your desired version of PHP (Using version 7.2 in this example):
[examplecom72]
listen = '/var/run/php-fpm-examplecom72.sock'
slowlog = /var/www/vhosts/example.com/example.com-phpfpm-slow72.log
php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/www/vhosts/example.com/example.com-phpfpm-error72.log
PHP-FPM configuration check¶
Using 7.2 in this example:
/opt/remi/php72/root/sbin/php-fpm -t
NOTICE: configuration file /etc/opt/remi/php72/php-fpm.conf test is successful
Start and Enable¶
Using 7.2 in this example:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable --now php72-php-fpm
Reload¶
If you make a configuration change to one of the PHP-FPM configuration files, perform a config test and then reload with the command (using 7.2 in this example)
systemctl reload php72-php-fpm
NGINX VirtualHost Change¶
Change the sock file in NGINX so the domain(s) use the desired version of PHP. We are using 7.2 in this example and editing the file /etc/nginx/conf.d/example.com.conf:
# Define the PHP-FPM socket file for nginx to proxy-pass to
upstream examplecombackend {
server unix:/var/run/php-fpm-examplecom72.sock;
}
Checking Running PHP Installations¶
You can find out which PHP-FPM versions are running on the server with the following command:
~]# ps awux | grep php | grep master
root 16718 0.0 0.2 934204 22708 ? Ss Jul03 8:39 php-fpm: master process (/etc/php-fpm.conf)
root 25623 0.1 0.3 519820 31280 ? Ss 15:00 0:00 php-fpm: master process (/etc/opt/remi/php70/php-fpm.conf)
root 25761 4.0 0.2 535516 17496 ? Ss 15:02 0:00 php-fpm: master process (/etc/opt/remi/php73/php-fpm.conf)
Checking Installed PHP Versions¶
You can review the installed PHP versions with the command:
~]# rpm -qa | grep php-common
php70-php-common-7.0.33-13.el7.remi.x86_64
php-common-7.2.19-2.el7.remi.x86_64
php73-php-common-7.3.9-1.el7.remi.x86_64
Magento Cron Jobs¶
Using 7.2 in this example, you can define the PHP binary for the Magento cron jobs like so:
-bash-4.2$ crontab -l
* * * * * /opt/remi/php72/root/bin/php /path/to/magento/cron.sh cron.php -mdefault
