NAME

       php-fpm - PHP FastCGI Process Manager 'PHP-FPM'

SYNOPSIS

       php-fpm [options]

DESCRIPTION

       PHP  is	a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. This
       is a variant of PHP that will run in the background as a daemon, listening for CGI requests. Output is logged to /var/log/php-fpm.log.

       Most options are set in the configuration file. The configuration file is /etc/php-fpm.conf.  By  default,  php-fpm  will  respond  to  CGI
       requests  listening  on localhost http port 9000. Therefore php-fpm expects your webserver to forward all requests for '.php' files to port
       9000 and you should edit your webserver configuration file appropriately.

FILES

       php-fpm.conf   The configuration file for the php-fpm daemon.

       php.ini	      The standard php configuration file.

EXAMPLES

       For any unix systems which use init.d for their main process manager, you should use the init script provided to start and stop the php-fpm
       daemon.

	      sudo /etc/init.d/php-fpm start

       For  any unix systems which use systemd for their main process manager, you should use the unit file provided to start and stop the php-fpm
       daemon.

	      sudo systemctl start php-fpm.service

       If your installation has no appropriate init script, launch php-fpm with no arguments. It will launch as a daemon (background  process)	by
       default. The file /var/run/php-fpm.pid determines whether php-fpm is already up and running. Once started, php-fpm then responds to several
       POSIX signals:

	      SIGINT,SIGTERM	  immediate termination
	      SIGQUIT		  graceful stop
	      SIGUSR1		  re-open log file
	      SIGUSR2		  graceful reload of all workers + reload of fpm conf/binary

TIPS

       The PHP-FPM CGI daemon will work well with most popular webservers, including Apache2, lighttpd and nginx.
