PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites.

PHP-FPM is far better than the standard mod_php implementation of PHP and also easier to implement that spawn-fcgi. PHP-FPM works like an application that loads and kills PHP instances as needed. Of all the benefits that it offers, reduced memory usage is the most attractive one.<\/p>\n

Step 1 : Add the Dotdeb repository<\/h2>\n

You can skip this step if you have already added the Dotdeb repository while\u00a0installing NGINX\u00a0on your Debian Server. The version of PHP and PHP-FPM in the Dotdeb repository is up-to-date and stable. We need to grab the latest version of PHP to benefit from all new updates and bug fixes.<\/p>\n

Step 2 : Installing PHP and PHP-FPM<\/h2>\n

The following command will do it all for you. I have included some popular PHP modules. You can choose and install the modules that you require.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
1<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
\n
sudo<\/code> apt-get\u00a0<\/code>install<\/code> php5-cgi php5-cli php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-fpm php5-gd php5-idn php5-imagick php5-imap php5-json php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mhash php5-ming php5-mysql php5-<\/code>ps<\/code> php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-suhosin php5-tidy php5-xcache php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl php-pear php-soap<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This command will install PHP-FPM and auto start the service. PHP-FPM will get added to the startup.<\/p>\n

Step 3 : Configuring and Optimising PHP<\/h2>\n

As you will be using PHP-FPM to process PHP scripts, edit the php.ini file that can be found at \/etc\/php5\/fpm\/php.ini. There are a lot of PHP settings that you can configure to optimise PHP for performance, speed and security. The following three are a good starting point.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
1<\/div>\n
2<\/div>\n
3<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
\n
memory_limit = 64M<\/code><\/div>\n
expose_php = Off<\/code><\/div>\n
display_errors = Off<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Step 4 : Configuring and Optimising PHP-FPM<\/h2>\n

Remember, we are setting up a low-end (256MB) web server on Shine Servers. We need to conserve as much memory as possible. Edit the file \/etc\/php5\/fpm\/pool.d\/www.conf<\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
1<\/div>\n
2<\/div>\n
3<\/div>\n
4<\/div>\n
5<\/div>\n
6<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
\n
pm = dynamic<\/code><\/div>\n
pm.max_children = 10<\/code><\/div>\n
pm.start_servers = 1<\/code><\/div>\n
pm.min_spare_servers = 1<\/code><\/div>\n
pm.max_spare_servers = 4<\/code><\/div>\n
pm.max_requests = 500<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This will bring down the number of children processes and free up some RAM.<\/p>\n

Step 5 : Restart PHP-FPM<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
1<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
\n
service php5-fpm restart<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This command will restart PHP-FPM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
