how to start/restart fastcgi process?

  • 772

I'm running nginx, and fastcgi to run a wordpress blog.

After a while of running, I am getting 502 bad gateway errors. If i reboot the server things work fine.

Other sites that are running on nginx are not effected (they are not php based), so I just figured out it must be the fastcgi process after looking at the log files saying the upstream client 127.0.0.1 is not responding.

How to I restart this? Is there a special log file for this fastcgi process?

ubuntu fastcgi nginx

  1. It depends of the Distro/Type but it is probably:

    service php-fpm restart
or
service php5-fpm restart

    Anyway restarting service is not a solution, you should find the problem why do the upstream is not responding. You may provide some logs to clarify the issue.

  2. Depends on the install:

    • find init.d script: ls -al /etc/init.d/*php*
    • look /usr/bin/php-fastcgi: ls -al /usr/bin/php-fastcgi
    • look /usr/bin/spawn-fcgi(if exist '/usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -u www-data -f /usr/bin/php5-cgi' to start, 'killall spawn-fcgi' to stop)

  3. In Ubuntu every site have a process in

    /etc/init.d/php-fcgi-domain-com-br

    So, to restart a PHP domain proccess type:

    sudo service php-fcgi-domain-com-br restart
