service php-fpm81 is currently down with a fresh installation

taker18 · Sep 12, 2023

Hello everyone
I just created a new server with Ubuntu 22.04 and openLite speed. all looks good to me, but after the installation, I found this message

" the service php-fpm8.1 is currently down"

When I checked I found that PHP 8.1 was originally installed with the setup and it's right there. but it's down how can I fix this error?

some forums suggested that stop or uninstall Imunify 360 but it appears that is not installed on mine

Solved - php 8 & Php 8.1 Not working properly on my server

php 8 and php 8.1 not working on my server. i am facing this issue from the last few months. i rebuilded the PHP many times. but still its not installing properly on my server. I am not getting the proper solution from our community and the officials. removed the version.txt file and...

forum.directadmin.com

sudo systemctl stop imunify360
Failed to stop imunify360.service: Unit imunify360.service not loaded.

Thank you all

Immunify360 is only installed on your system if you installed it yourself.

Login as root via SSH then issue the following commands:
service php-fpm81 status
and after that
service php-fpm81 restart

Post the results here. If you encounter a line which says something about journalctl -xe then issue that command too and post the results. Maybe we can find a cause.

That shows that php-fpm81 is not installed or not installed fully.

Did you waited long enough?
Because you write that it 's a new installation. But Directadmin itself is installed very quickly, all the rest, including PHP is installed in the background. Depending on the amount of ram and cpu speed, this can take up to 45 minutes.

So maybe you did not wait long enough? There should be a message in your message center that the background installation is finished, did you receive that?
If no, then I hope all went good, check with ps faux if it's still running.
If yes, are all other services installed and working?

If yes, try to install php-fpm81 via SSH and see if you see any installation error.
Login via SSH.
Then go to /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
Check the options.conf in there that php8.1 with php-fpm is selected and present there.

Then proceed as follow from that directory:

Code:

./build update
./build php n
./build rewrite_confs

the last line only when the PHP installation finished without errors.

Does that fix the issue?
If yes -> great
if not -> what errors do you see. If there are multiple lines, post the first 5 or 10 lines starting with errors.

this is a very small server of 2 VCP 2G Ram 40 volume Local desk.
I can easily kill this server and rebuild it again,

Please don't use the reply butten which creates full message quotes. I'm a bit older and it confuses me sometimes.

Just use the small text reply box below please, thanks!

Phoe, well I hope you do also have a minimum of 4 GB swapfile space otherwise you won't make it.
The 2 GB is very very minimal.
If you didn't have a swapfile, that could already cause compiling to fail.

taker18 · Sep 12, 2023

ok NO reply @Richard G

now I killed the old small server, and rebuild a new one with 4 RAM, still got the same issue.
but this time I used your commands

Code:

./build update
./build php n
./build rewrite_confs

after running

Code:

./build php n

the result below , which is good

Code:

/usr/local/php81/lib/php.ini already exists, skipping.

I didn't create a swap file. should I create one? This server is going to be for testing and non production sites like demo and test

@Richard G, how do I know that PHP 8.1 is working?

Richard G · Sep 12, 2023

Thanks!

You already can see it here:

taker18 said:
PHP has been secured. Restarting php-fpm81. Enabling php-fpm81 in systemd...

And also in the second part you showed. It restarts php-fpm81 and no error shows, so it should be running.

To be sure you can always issue the command:
service php-fpm81 status

Then you should get some output like this:

Code:

and maybe some more.

By the way... did you wait this time until you got the message that DA was ready with background installations?

taker18 · Sep 12, 2023

Yes I waited till it finished completely both times

Thank you @Richard G Great help as usual
