PHP-FPM(8)                    Scripting Language                    PHP-FPM(8)

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 espe-
       cially 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, lis-
       tening 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.
