PHP7.1/7.2 where is the php-fpm server?

CentOS Linux  7.4.1708 (Core)
Kernel 3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64
Apache & Varnish Cache & Nginx Reverse Proxy
Apache/2.4.29
nginx/1.12.2
PHP 7.1.9
suPHP version 0.7.2
MySQL version: 10.1.31-MariaDB
CWPpro 0.9.8.454
SEL disabled
Mod Security disabled
The php-fpm server is supposed to be running and listening on tcp_port 9000 as php upstream handler/proxy.

Code: [Select]

upstream php-handler {
  server 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
Checked with Netstat Port Usage but there is no process listening on that port nor is there any process named php-fpm. It should also be listed as server enabled/disabled but is neither.
Trying to enable/start with

Code: [Select]

systemctl enable (or start)[/i] php71-php-fpm (or php72-php-fpm)
fails with

Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory

Yum can only install php-fmp v 5.4.16, which does not work with PHP7 and is even producing adverse effects, hence no option

And I am starting to wonder why for any other component with a server attached to it there is a notice but not for php-fpm, suspecting that php-fpm is absent from the switch script



If wrong then please how to start the php-fpm server else appreciate to know how to install the server that CWP might have failed to install in the first place.

Just to make the litmus test

Code: [Select]

yum -y install yum-plugin-priorities
yum -y install http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
sed -i -e "s/enabled=1/enabled=0/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/remi-safe.repo
yum --enablerepo=remi-safe -y install php71-php-fpm

Logically it shows up in the startup_services section of the panel

listed as bug http://forum.centos-webpanel.com/centos-webpanel-bugs/php-switcher-fails-to-install-phpvx-php-fpm-and-dependencies/

questions
1 why does the switch script does not install phpvX-php-fpm and dependencies?
2  phpvX- compiled/installed by CWP resides in /opt/alt/ whilst phpvX-php-fpm installed with yum from the remi-safe repo resides in /opt/remi/
Will both installations recognize each other and work seamlessly together or is there potential for confusion/panic/conflict?
3 what happens if CWP eventually gets around fixing the bug and installing another phpvX-php-fpm in /opt/alt/? Is the switch script safeguarding against conflicts and actually checks the presence of services already installed, either not installing a duplicate or removing the existing service and replacing it with the CWP installation?
4 why not including the remi-safe repo in the first place and making things easier for all around?

There are 4 php.ini files now

./home/user/public_html/php.ini
./etc/opt/remi/php71/php.ini
./opt/alt/php71/usr/php/php.ini
./usr/local/php/php.ini

Which one takes precedence over which one?
Suppose this is the baseline?

./usr/local/php/php.ini

Then one level up

./etc/opt/remi/php71/php.ini and/or ./opt/alt/php71/usr/php/php.ini

But which one of those 2?

Then one level up?

./home/user/public_html/php.ini

2  phpvX- compiled/installed by CWP resides in /opt/alt/ whilst phpvX-php-fpm installed with yum from the remi-safe repo resides in /opt/remi/
Will both installations recognize each other and work seamlessly together or is there potential for confusion/panic/conflict?

The two installation are not playing along. One is not recognizing the php-modules (e.g. php-pdo) installed utilized by the other. Could be the difference in version - CWP installed PHP7.19 and Remi-safe installed PHP7.14

What a fine mess this is 

Any bright ideas of how to get CWP to install the phpvX-php-fpm server module, now that I had to remove remiPHP7.1.4?

yum remove php71-php-fpm (to remove remi php-fpm)

I wonder, why after 1 year problem is still actuall..

If you have cwp pro and installed from webservices it is installed as cwp-phpfpm
At actual version it install but still not work...
