Configure Nginx + PHP-FPM Using Unix Sock error

Respected Sir,

Following steps i did to accomplish the task

Install Nginx

sudo yum install -y nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx

Configure NGINX for the app

Edited /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

sudo vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

 server {
        listen       8095;
        listen       [::]:8095;
        server_name  stapp03;
        root /var/www/html;
 index index.php index.html;

 location / {
 try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
 }

 location ~ \ .php$ {
 include fastcgi_params;
 fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/default.sock;
 fastcgi_index index.php;
 fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
 }
}

  error_page 404 /404.html;
  error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Install PHP-FPM 8.1

 sudo dnf install epel-release -y
 sudo dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-9.rpm -y
 sudo dnf module list php
 sudo dnf module enable php:remi-8.1 -y
 sudo dnf install php-fpm php php-cli php-common php-mysqlnd php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-pdo php-opcache -y
 sudo systemctl start php-fpm
 sudo systemctl enable php-fpm
 

php-v
sudo systemctl status php-fpm

Configure PHP-FPM

Edited /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf:

sudo vi /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf

listen = /var/run/php-fpm/default.sock
;listen.owner = nginx
;listen.group = nginx
;listen.mode = 0660

sudo mkdir -p /var/run/php-fpm
sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/run/php-fpm

sudo systemctl enable --now php-fpm

Testing
From the Jump Host, I ran:
Curl… command

Error : php-fpm is not congigured to use ‘/var/run/php-fpm/default.sock’ socket App Server 3

Kindly detect the error in the whole process.



This is what mine says and I did everything correctly

Found my mistake. Completed now!!!

change ```
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/default.sock;

to ```
fastcgi_pass php-fpm;

Then go to /etc/nginx/conf.d/php-fpm.conf and put this "/var/run/php-fpm/default.sock" in the upstream{}

Many Thanks for your reply.
I’ve successfully completed my task.

  error_page 404 /404.html;
  error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Install PHP-FPM 8.3

 sudo dnf install epel-release -y
 sudo dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-9.rpm -y
 sudo dnf module list php
 sudo dnf module enable php:remi-8.3 -y
 sudo dnf install php-fpm php php-cli php-common php-mysqlnd php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-pdo php-opcache -y
 sudo systemctl start php-fpm
 sudo systemctl enable php-fpm
 

php -v
sudo systemctl status php-fpm

Configure PHP-FPM

Edited /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf:

sudo vi /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf

user = nginx

group = nginx

listen = /var/run/php-fpm/default.sock

listen.owner = nginx

listen.group = nginx

listen.mode = 0660

Also, ensure the directory exists:

sudo mkdir -p /var/run/php-fpm

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/run/php-fpm

sudo systemctl enable --now php-fpm

Testing:

From the Jump Host, I ran:

Curl… command

None of these has worked for me. I have attempted this 3 times now without success.

The output message “website not properly setup” is a rather too generic message for anyone to see what the issue is since the final output was successful.

HI @seunsamore

I have re-checked the solution here: Configure Nginx + PHP-FPM Using Unix Sock error - #19 by Alistair_KodeKloud

It is still working fine.

Thank you so much @Alistair_KodeKloud , this checked out!

The point I missed was the configuration of php_fpm nginx module:
Configure php-fpm nginx module
/etc/nginx/conf.d/php-fpm.conf

Good day humble colleagues,
Having issues in this particular task after configuring all parameters, the curl failed

Will be grateful for any positive yields to success
