I'm using this tut as a base: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...8-4-jessie-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-1/ additionally I need PHP 5.5 of which I found 5.5.38 to be the latest. I then followed this tutorial to add it as fastcgi and FPM: https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-u...pm-and-fastcgi-with-ispconfig-3-debian-wheezy but that tutorial is for Debian 7 and PHP 5.3 so I have some doubts about its accuracy. Later on I found this tutorial: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-php-5-6-on-ubuntu-16-04/ but it deals with PHP 5.6 and Ubuntu. My questions are as follows: - I compiled PHP 5.5 wit hthe instructions for 5.3 any problems with this? - I also noticed that PHP 5.5 should come with OPCache, can I just add "--enable-opcache" to the instructions for PHP 5.3 and that's it? - I also noticed when switching a site in ISPCFG3 from fastcgi to my manually compiled PHP 5.5 as FPM there's a problem until I manually start it with /etc/init.d/php-5.5.38-fpm start and I see the 2 tuts above have different approaches one using a init script one a service file, can someone clarify what the correct approach is using the linked perfect server tutorial above?
That should work. yes When your server uses systemd, then better create systemd unit files for the php versions and not init scripts. That should prevent that problem.
Thanks, I'll go try your advice. https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...8-4-jessie-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-1/ Does that setup use systemd? I can't figure it out. I have stuff inside /usr/lib/systemd/ and /etc/init.d/ too.
That setup should use systemd. you can e.g. test it by restarting a service with the systemctl command, if it exist and works, then your server uses systemd.
