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]

This tutorial will enable PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 to specific/desired domains.
Tutorial is for Debian and Ubuntu (but probably can give you a good direction for CentOS).

PHP will run through PHP-FPM, which is much more faster solution than other existent PHP-switcher that uses only old phpfcgid solution (because with PHP-FPM you can use opcache).
Communication to PHP-FPM will goes through Unix-sockets, which is also the fastest communication between daemons.

Second tutorial goes a step forward - it will allow you to make direct communication from nginx to PHP-FPM, avoiding Apache for desired domains (Apache is installed by default in default Vesta installation).
So, yes, you can easily make nginx <-> PHP-FPM stack even if you have Apache installed.
And yet better news - you can use it only on desired domains - so all other domains will stay untouched.

As I said in first post, second tutorial goes a step forward - it will allow you to make direct communication from nginx to PHP-FPM, avoiding Apache for desired domains (Apache is installed by default in default Vesta installation).
So, yes, you can easily make nginx <-> PHP-FPM stack even if you have Apache installed.

This way you can adapt any other existent Vesta PHP-FPM template for other CMS.
(list of CMS templates is here - https://github.com/serghey-rodin/vesta/ ... nx/php-fpm )

This is example for PHP 7.2.
You can install templates for other PHP version the same way, just substitute 7.2 and 72 with desired version.

Now simply go to Vesta, edit WEB for desired domain and choose:

Good share. Thanks.

For the benefit of others using this method, just take note that to edit some of the php.ini features, eg. upload_max_filesize, you got to edit the template files. Editing the php.ini files will not effect the change.

sudo nano /usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/apache2/PHP-FPM-71.sh

I am really liking this, and it is more up to date than any other solution I have found in the forums or repo.

I am having a problem with the Apache templates.
It may be that I did not install on Debian 9, but rather 8, and then I performed the update to 9 on this particular test server.

However, the nginx direct fpm templates do work for me.

When selecting the apache fpm web templates in my test environment, php files are not executed, simply the content of the file is shown in the browser.
I am looking over the template code to determine what could be causing this.

If you have any advice on what to check that would be much appreciated.
I believe this should be a standard feature in Vesta as many web apps can benefit from a multiphp selector, so I appreciate you posting this thread.

[blueberry]

One thing i noticed, when changing some php settings, for eg, increasing execution_time, the changes does not effect at all even after reboot.

Changes will only effect if u goto Web -> Edit Domain -> Web Template -> Select another package, save, and go back to PHP-FPM-XX.

The same is with default PHP, you just need to edit /usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/apache2/default.tpl :)

BTW, template from this tutorial will never overwrite fpm pool file, so you also need to edit pool file (/etc/php/7.X/fpm/pool.d/YOUR-DOMAIN.conf) and then restart choosen php-fpm:

Code: Select all

service php7.X-fpm restart

Yes, they are already enabled and I have restarted apache, do you think upgrading from 8 to 9 makes a difference in how your script installs on an upgraded system versus one where Vesta was installed on Debian 9 rather than upgraded?

what is a content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list ?
if you find 'strech' in it, replace it to 'jessie' and run again: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Dpeca, thank you for your support.
I launched a test server with Debian 9 as the base OS and installed Vesta on it and installed the scripts, I am getting the same issue still.
Any suggestions on where to look to help troubleshoot?

Also Are you installing your script on a bare Debian 9 Vesta install?
I am on 9.4 on this test server, I am just trying to determine what is the factor, also this is Debian 9 running in a LXC container atop a Debian 9 baremetal virtualizer.

Thank you for your time, I feel this is a very important feature that should be an official template in Vesta.
