php-fpm53 issues with new install

[VisiGod]

So I'm installing a new server with CentOS 7 (CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core)) and after a minimal install, along with the necessary packages and the DA setup script, I'm getting issues with php.

I've opted to install apache with php-fpm 5.3 but it seems that the php process continues to dies every minute or so.

The is the error when I try to start the php-fpm53 service:

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start  php-fpm53.service

Job for php-fpm53.service failed. See 'systemctl status php-fpm53.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

So if anyone has any idea or can lend any help or suggestion I would appreciate.

This is my first DA install with CentOS 7 and the server will be used in a production environment so I would also like to know if DA is already stable enough with CentOS 7 or if I should stick with CentOS 6.x for now.

Thanks in advance for any help

It might be a bug of PHP 5.3, I could check it on your system free of charge. I'd give PHP 5.4 a try in your case if you'd like to use PHP-FPM. About the stability: yes, DA runs stable on CentOS 7 (even though it's still marked as BETA), it's just the PHP 5.3, which is end-of-life, that might have problems in your case.

Thanks Martynas. I'll give it a try with PHP 5.4 and will report back... If that still fails we will talk again

I had the same issue on one of our CentOS 7 servers. The problem is that the php-fpm53 process doesn't return a signal to systemd when it is done starting, so systemd thinks it didn't start properly and kills the process after a minute and a half.
To solve it you have to change Type=notify to Type=simple in /etc/systemd/system/php-fpm53.service and then restart the service:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart php-fpm53

Could it be that this is still an issue in the current version of DA and custombuild?
This post solved the problem on a new install with php-pfm71 running but getting a failed status

Maybe this can be setup in de defaults of custombuild

@flexjoly, what OS har you running? I have not seen this problem on any of my CentOS 7 servers. They are running PHP 7.0.x
