Hello,
When using the current php-fpm.service file from the blfs-systemd-unit
files this service fails to start.
Research shows that as of February this year that Debian has a bug report
open with the same issue at:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737825
Although there also appears to be another bug with their version, the
timeout for the service start is valid.
If you scroll to almost the bottom you will see a comment that they think
that the issue is with the Type=notify being set in the unit file. They
have almost an identical unit file to the one we are currently providing.
Seeing this hint at what the problem may be led me to make changes to my
uint file as follows:
[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/php-fpm.pid
PrivateTmp=true
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/php-fpm --daemonize --allow-to-run-as-root --fpm-
config /etc/php-fpm.conf --pid /run/php-fpm.pid
ExecReload=/bin/kill -USR2 $MAINPID
By using this in the unit file the service starts and remains running.
I tested various changes to that by leaving it as --nodaemonize with Type
set to forking and it failed. Also it failed with --nodaemonize with type
set to forking.
The --allow-to-run-as-root is needed for the main php-fpm master process.
This is turned off by default in the --fpm-config file. With the master
php-fpm process running as root, the child processes are run as user/group
apache.
It would be nice if someone else is also able to confirm this. It has
taken me a good while to track down this.
Research has also shown that other distributions back as early as 2011 had
the Type=forking set in their unit files for this, though things do change
over the years with different versions of systemd and the like.
Regards,
Christopher.
