So I'm just setting up nginx and php5-fpm on my VPS, having moved over from Apache. I'm running Debian Squeeze, with the latest PHP from the dotdeb.org repo (that means PHP 5.4.13-1~dotdeb.1).

I am having trouble getting php5-fpm going. When run sudo /etc/init.d/php5-fpm start, I don't get any confirmation, nor any error signals. Same for running sudo /etc/init.d/php5-fpm stop. If I pass it the status arg (sudo /etc/init.d/php5-fpm status), it returns php5-fpm is not running ... failed!

Now I can't see any errors in any log, so I'm at a losss as to how to even start to debug the problem.

Has anyone experience similar problems, or knows what I should do next?

# /etc/init.d/php5-fpm check
[19-Apr-2013 19:29:26] NOTICE: configuration file /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf test is successful

Try to use this :)

or

# /etc/init.d/php7.4-fpm status

(replace 7.4 with your version)

  • Thanks for downvoting, but please do it by commenting on your choice. – pacify Jan 09 '19 at 09:38
  • This is perfect for doing a simple validation of a conf file, especially when php-fpm is containerized and running in the foreground. Thanks for posting! – Andrew Odri Mar 17 '22 at 15:54
