I have a few identically configured servers, set up to run multiple versions of php. This week I have been working on optimizing them for memory conservation. Up until now, all sites have been running php-fpm regardless of php version requirements. This involves php 7.4, 7.2 and 5.6.
Server 1 has a variety of sites on it, from full production publicly accessible and high volume, to low volume “back end” management apps used only by staff, plus a few “archive” sites showing old versions of “annual data” sites. In order to optimize memory, a few of the low volume sites have been switched to CGI Wrapper configuration using php 5.6, because performance isn’t very important and I’d rather not have fpm processes running for sites that are only accessed by 1 person once a month. This is all working great!
Server 2 is purely an archive and utility site, running mostly old versions of annual data sites and do not need to performance at all. There are several dozen sites requiring php 5.6. Having fpm processes running on all of these sites is a killer, so I want to switch them all to CGI Wrapper. However, I am only able to get 5.6 running using php-fpm; when I switch to fcgid or CGI wrapper, the site uses FPM 7.4. There is a selector for which php to use in FCGID or Wrapper mode, it’s set to 5.6, but still is using FPM 7.4.
If there’s any differences between these two server configurations, I cannot recall what they are. Should be identical.
I’ve run Re-Check configuration on Virtualmin. Everything checks out.
I have restarted Apache.
Here’s my apache directives
