My php-fpm (5.7 to 7.3) seems down sometimes, especially after rebooting. Edited: Managed to fix this in monit based on: https://guides.wp-bullet.com/use-monit-monitor-restart-php7-fpm-service-automatically/, basically as follows: Code: check process php7-fpm with pidfile /run/php/7.0/php7-fpm.pid start program = "/usr/sbin/service php7.0-fpm start" with timeout 60 seconds stop program = "/usr/sbin/service php7.0-fpm stop" if failed unixsocket /var/run/php7.0-fpm.sock then restart
