Following was my task -
The Nautilus application development team is planning to launch a new PHP-based application, which they want to deploy on Nautilus infra in Stratos DC. The development team had a meeting with the production support team and they have shared some requirements regarding the infrastructure. Below are the requirements they shared:
a. Install nginx on app server 3 , configure it to use port 8095 and its document root should be /var/www/html.
b. Install php-fpm version 8.2 on app server 3, it must use the unix socket /var/run/php-fpm/default.sock (create the parent directories if don’t exist).
c. Configure php-fpm and nginx to work together.
d. Once configured correctly, you can test the website using curl http://stapp03:8095/index.php command from jump host.
Error i got after submitting was - " - either ‘php-fpm’ is not installed or installed version is not ‘8.2’ on App Server 3"
Kindly provide me the steps to install php version 8.2
sudo yum install -y nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx
Edited /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:
sudo vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
server {
listen 8093;
listen [::]:8093;
server_name stapp03;

Hi @dpakmishra.1983
It’s worked properly from my end, please try to set these configure below in /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf.
listen.owner = nginx
raymond.baoly:
nginx
Sir , things are still not working for me with the above configuration.
Inside /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf, i am changing the following
listen = /var/run/php-fpm/default.sock (removing the default value “/run/php-fpm/www.sock”)
Kindly help.

You have to uncomment the ;listen.user and ;listen.group by removing the ‘;’
