Hey everyone, I've searched around and I can't find anything helpful on the net regarding this issue, so therefore I'm looking for help here - as I've followed a Perfect Server tutorial for Debian 9. When trying any PHP page, on any of my Debian 9 machines while having PHP-FPM configured, I get a "Error 503 - Service Unavailable" message. Changing PHP variant to Fast-CGI it runs perfectly. I can have as little as <? ?> in the PHP file and still get the error for PHP-FPM. I read somewhere on this forum that PHP 7.1 wasn't compatible with ISPConfig, but could be run on websites and so on. So I just tried php --version to see what version I have and this is the output; Code: root@server:~# php --version PHP 7.0.33-0+deb9u3 (cli) (built: Mar 8 2019 10:01:24) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.33-0+deb9u3, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies Debian version; Code: root@server:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.8 (stretch) Release: 9.8 Codename: stretch Not really sure if ISPConfig version matters but I'm running 3.1.11 Only thing I get in the error log is the following, but I don't know if this is related to this error - probably is, but I can't figure out what is wrong.

You posted in Linux forum, but seem you are running ISPConfig? ISPConfig supports the PHP version that comes with the operating system. So for Debian 9.x it is PHP 7.0. Other PHP versions are not supported (for ISPConfig) on Debian 9. You can install additional PHP versions for websites, but must set the Default PHP version back to the original (see Tutorial: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...fig-3-from-debian-packages-on-debian-8-and-9/) Furthermore, PHP version may be different for command line applications and web applications. You checked command line version is 7.0, but check also web version. Then check you have installed the PHP modules required in the Perfect Server Guide and that the configurations match what that Guide says.
Of course I'm posting in the Linux forum as ISPConfig runs on Linux and as I have problems with PHP and not directly ISPConfig - I see no other possible forum part to post in. Sure I'm talking about ISPConfig as I use that to configure which PHP version the sites are using. But I don't really see that ISPConfig should be at fault - I guess and hope not, doesn't feel like it. As I've followed a Perfect Server for Debian 9 guide, on Howtoforge I believe I can't do it wrong. Hence the reason I've followed these guides for so many years now. https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...-stretch-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-1/2/ Of course, installing PHP 7 is a nobrainer as it says in the guide. Code: apt-get -y install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php php7.0 php7.0-common php7.0-gd php7.0-mysql php7.0-imap phpmyadmin php7.0-cli php7.0-cgi libapache2-mod-fcgid apache2-suexec-pristine php-pear php7.0-mcrypt mcrypt imagemagick libruby libapache2-mod-python php7.0-curl php7.0-intl php7.0-pspell php7.0-recode php7.0-sqlite3 php7.0-tidy php7.0-xmlrpc php7.0-xsl memcached php-memcache php-imagick php-gettext php7.0-zip php7.0-mbstring memcached libapache2-mod-passenger php7.0-soap Also, PHP 7 FPM module is installed and activated with Apache2 Code: apt-get -y install php7.0-fpm a2enmod actions proxy_fcgi alias service apache2 restart So I can't really see that I've done anything wrong as I've followed the guide on every single command - and I've installed 60+ servers with Debian 8 (with and without ISPConfig) without problems and 4-5 servers with Debian 9 and none of them can use PHP-FPM - when chosen in ISPConfig administration for sites on that server. However, if I choose for example the PHP Fast-CGI module, the sites run perfectly. Sure, one could say - accept that and run with it.. But no, I don't care which PHP version/module I'm running - any of them should work no matter which I choose and as I've previously used PHP-FPM as recommended in Perfect Server tutorials, I feel that I should be able to use it in Debian 9 - especially as the tutorial tells me to install it. I have no problems with the ISPConfig administration, that works perfectly. It is only the sites that I pick PHP-FPM for that does not work and I get a 503 Service Unavailable message for.
You seem to have done PHP as it should, so I can only suggest the configuration for PHP-FPM is wrong for the additional PHP-versions. How did you install the additional PHP versions? Self compiled or?
I certainly hope so Well, I have only installed PHP-FPM as far as I know and that is following the tutorial. All the other installed PHP versions are coming from the tutorial command; Code: apt-get -y install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php php7.0 php7.0-common php7.0-gd php7.0-mysql php7.0-imap phpmyadmin php7.0-cli php7.0-cgi libapache2-mod-fcgid apache2-suexec-pristine php-pear php7.0-mcrypt mcrypt imagemagick libruby libapache2-mod-python php7.0-curl php7.0-intl php7.0-pspell php7.0-recode php7.0-sqlite3 php7.0-tidy php7.0-xmlrpc php7.0-xsl memcached php-memcache php-imagick php-gettext php7.0-zip php7.0-mbstring memcached libapache2-mod-passenger php7.0-soap I have not installed anything else other than what the tutorial says. As far as I know, well, it is a pure Howtoforge Perfect Server Debian 9 installation with ISPConfig installed and configured - so a full tutorial run through and then setting up the first site in ISPConfig, choose PHP-FPM on site creation page and then I get the error - on that new site, not in ISPConfig. At first, I tried to troubleshoot the errors, but found that it wasn't something really simple so I skipped it, but now when installing my 5th machine I'm getting kind of irritated - certainly not on you guys, so please don't take it like that! But irritated that "simple" programs that previously just work, doesn't in the new version. Fine, I know - bugs exists, but I've had this problem for a few months now - so I guess such a bug should have been resolved, or at least the tutorial should say something or well - anyone reporting something similar. I hope this is just a simple "me" thing that we can find the cause for, otherwise why aren't more people reporting on this? I'm searching, searching, searching - trying to find a solution but I just hit several dead ends after each other. It can't be impossible and I hope we can solve this. Turns out that some of our new hardware isn't even compatible with Debian 8 for some strange reason - so I'm pretty much forced to use Debian 9.. I really hope you can help me out
If you installed additional PHP versions, you must install all the necessary PHP modules for all the installed versions. So if you have installed for example php7.0-mcrypt, you must also install php7.1-mcrypt, php7.2-mcrypt etc. If those are missing, the websites using additional PHP versions will not work. Note that some packages are removed from later PHP distributions, and some may have a different name. But the Tutorial should have the necessary info up to version PHP 7.3.
