still running OK? just done this now as I got another crash. it did install a couple more exts.
Still happening.
There is something mentioned by the Virtualmin guys on this link:
I think it’s related to what we are experiencing here
have changed the log rotate post command to match what is in that other post - will monitor again.
forced a rotate and nothing crashed so if that is to blame then that probably is the fix
following my last reply (forgot to do as a reply) the original command is a kill -9 … on post so wondering in the situation where you have more than one version of php this breaks.
ive got 7.4 and 8.0
nope. just had a crash overnight
Anyone still having this? Im up to date with the latest virtual min etc and still getting this. Driving me up the wall. Only 1 server im seeing this on all rest fine
I am still having this problem. I don’t know what starts the cascade failure, but when this happens, usually I can either restart the php service or re-submit the php-fpm settings page without changing anything, and it regenerates the session files/restarts php service.
However, today, I couldn’t get one of my php services to start. I investigated the error, and it stated it couldn’t find the sock file under “/run/php-fpm.” I checked, and I didn’t have a folder called /run/php-fpm, I had one under /var/run/php-fpm instead. So I created the folder “/run/php-fpm” and tried starting the php service, and it immediately started up.
Next, I listed both directories. To my surprise, both /var/run/php-fpm and /run/php-fpm have the EXACT same files, same modification time. Not sure how that is happening.
To try and figure out where the discrepancy is, I grepped against all php .conf files under conf.d and to my surprise, ALL of the configs are pointing towards /run/php-fpm. I also don’t know if this www.conf should be in here or not, as I still cannot start php8, which was the base php version on my system at setup. so it’s service is “php-fpm” whilst all other php services are phpXX-php-fpm, where “XX” is the version number of php.

-----UPDATE------
I went to go list /run/php-fpm, and to my surprise again, (im getting surprised a lot now) THE DIRECTORY IS JUST GONE!!! I simply created it again “mkdir /run/php-fpm” and mass restarted ALL my php services and they started up with no problems.
Why is this folder getting deleted, especially if configurations are pointing to it??
(I followed the virtualmin guide for installing multiple versions of PHP.)
The same thing happens when I try this for php version 8, but this is because when I set my system up, php8 was the default version. it isn’t listed as php80-php-fpm.service, it is listed as php-fpm.service.
all additional php versions installed via remi repository have their versions in the name, except for php8 specifically. Your system likely is in the same boat as mine.
I was having problems with 8.2, the release of 8.3 has meant no more problems.
as a random observation, maybe not on point … on some of my RedHat systems, /var/run is symlinked to /run … that is, /run is the real directory with /var/run pointing to it

I have the same issue. do we have any ideas how to fix?
So your directory is dissappear also ? Or can you not get php to start for other reasons ? Check the status of your php service(s) and post the information back
Nope I have no issues, these setting reduce ram usage. I set this in the template.
Once in template you can turn off then turn on PHP on each virtual server to add the setting.
This also reduce the large list of php-fpm: pool’s

My OS is AlmaLinux 9 with Virtualmin Pro, and I’m also having issues with PHP-FPM pools. This has happened with both PHP 8.2 and 7.4, and it doesn’t matter if the configuration is set to “ondemand” or “dynamic.”
Everything seems to be related to the path where the pool socket is created. Virtualmin used to create the old ones in /var/php-fpm, but now it creates them in /run/php-fpm. In the first case, I never had any issues, but in the second, some socket files disappear, and the associated web server stops responding. However, if I check the pool status with systemctl status php*-php-fpm, I can see that it’s running in memory.
Restarting PHP-FPM makes the website respond again, but after some time, the same issue occurs.
I haven’t been able to figure out why the socket disappears, and I’ve only managed to solve it by changing the socket path from /run/php-fpm to /var/php-fpm in both the pool configuration and Apache’s settings.
Can anyone else reproduce this behavior? (Moving back to /var fixing the problem.)
This shouldn’t make a difference, /run is the place for ephemeral sockets like this to exist in a Linux system with systemd. So, it’s surprising that it seems to fix it for you. I can’t figure out why it would.
