PHP Configuration FPM option missing

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Debian 12
Webmin version 2.303

Hello, I’ve noticed that on fresh webmin/virtualmin installs there are missing fpm configuration option in Webmin->Tools->PHP Configuration menu, I need to add it manually via settings icon.
On older versions on fresh install FPM option was always there. This change was made on some kind of purpose or it’s a bug?

Well, simply install the php-fpm package.

I thought this was the default Virtualmin mode of operation for PHP? Looks like the OP seemed to think it was there, just the option was missing on the form until he added it?

Yeah, lack of PHP-FPM indicates one of two things:

  1. Configuration check hasn’t run, so Virtualmin doesn’t know about what execution modes are available yet.
  2. Something went wrong during installation, and there may be other problems with the system.

Or, I guess a third thing: PHP-FPM was removed for some reason. Or, fourth thing: This is some kind of manual installation, but I don’t even want to think about that possibility.

Debian 12 still seems to pop up with these ‘interesting’ little quirks? :wink:

Php-fpm is installed and works, configuration re-check done, everything functions as it should incl. website. I’m using the same clean install approach as always, but now this little problem occurred, already done 3 new setups and the same thing happened on all of them. Noticed this because on new setups I need to change few fpm configuration settings. Well for now i just add

/etc/php*/fpm/php.ini,/etc/php/*/fpm/php.ini=Configuration for FPM

manually and option appears and works as it should. So just a little inconvenience which I hope will be solved in future update
