I followed the steps to install PHP5.6 and PHP7.1 side by side on an Apache server, using FastCGI. One of the steps is to install and start php-fpm. However, when I stop this service, the PHP systems still work.

So, what is php-fpm actually doing if disabling it doesn't affect the server?

    you're probably still using old mod_php instead of new php-fpm.. – alexus Sep 27 '18 at 19:29
  • @alexus but the two different versions work, so I'd say FastCGI is 'active' somehow – Bart Friederichs Sep 27 '18 at 19:30

    if after stopping php-fpm, you're still getting php code rendered, that means you're still using old mod_php as otherwise you'd get blank page – alexus Sep 27 '18 at 20:35
  • Are you sure you followed the steps exactly like in the tutorial with the test sites which shows which api is activated? Did you actually see fpm in the API field? – Broco Sep 28 '18 at 09:20
  • @Broco I use phpinfo() to see which version is being used. And the two configs show different PHP versions. The Apache config of these sites use Action php-fastcgi /cgi-bin/phpXX.fastcgi as their config. phpinfo() says Server API CGI/FastCGI. – Bart Friederichs Sep 28 '18 at 09:41
