PHP-FPM cannot get uid for user 'username'

[martexx]

Hi

Do you know what is wrong here?

I finally managed to run nginx in front of apache using custombuild with php fastcgi

I was reading that is was better to use php-fpm

But it wont start:
MD5 Checksum on zend-loader-php5.5-linux-x86_64.tar.gz passed.
Zend Guard loader is now installed for PHP 5.5.
Restarting php-fpm55.
Gracefully shutting down php-fpm55: warning, no pid file found - php-fpm55 is not running ?
Starting php-fpm55: [10-Jul-2015 00:00:27] ERROR: [pool username] cannot get uid for user 'username'
[10-Jul-2015 00:00:27] ERROR: FPM initialization failed
failed

$pool is not defined so the user does not get set and stays username.

How can we set $pool ??

this error is also "solved" by manually adding the user "username"

But im not sure that it all runs under the right user now
