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.
