TUTORIAL: PHP selector for PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 for Debian & Ubuntu (and optionally directly nginx-PHP-FPM)

[dpeca]

Hello,

I need to help here.

This is a clean install of VestaCP on a clean Debian 9 server.

I only have added one user and one domain.

I have installed VestaCP with Apache only, no nginx, and on the Packages tab, under Web Templates, I am getting the option to change to PHP-FPM-56, but after I switch to PHP-FPM-56 from default, nothing happens when I check with phpinfo();

Should I have opted for both Apache and nginx? Or, am I missing something else?

Thanks!

WEB -> Edit domain -> change Web template there

Web template is visible and enabled only within WEB for admin, not for a regular user account.

When, I go to WEB from within admin, the only available site is my nameserver site where VestaCP was installed, and PHP-FPM-56 works there just fine, but again not for a regular user account.

First login as admin, then put mouse over account and click ''LOGIN AS ____"

Hello,

Restarted my server and PHP 5.6 is not working

I get the following in the Apache logs

[Sun Feb 14 22:41:22.681477 2021] [proxy:error] [pid 7261] (2)No such file or directory: AH02454: FCGI: attempt to connect to Unix domain socket /run/php/php5.6-fpm-mydomain.com.sock (*) failed

and when I run systemctl start php5.6-fpm I get

Job for php5.6-fpm.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status php5.6-fpm.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

so I run systemctl status php5.6-fpm.service and get the following:

Other versions work. Any Ideas

Thanks in Advance...

Fixed it:
So I Created a .conf for one of my domains and saved in the /etc/php/5.6/fpm/pool.d/ (as the error demanded)
This got the php5.6-fpm.service running
Then I went to all my domains that run php5.6 and enabled it again to create the .conf for each one.

But any Idea why this happened after a restart, why did all the .conf files get deleted?
