Upgrading PHP-FPM while minimizing downtime

  • 772

I am running nginx 1.2.6 on Ubuntu. With nginx, I can perform upgrades gracefully, so that no incoming requests will be lost.

Is there any process like that for PHP-FPM? If so, what is the process for doing the upgrade? Is it possible to ask PHP-FPM to reload php.ini with no downtime?

If not, what's the next best way to perform the upgrade? Taking into account:

  • that, we minimize downtime.
  • Ensure that all current requests are performed and finished.

Note that our setup currently only consists of 1 server, with all services running on that machine.

  1. You can install second instance of php-fpm with another port of socket it doesn't matter, change in the nginx config port or socket to new php-fpm and "perform upgrades gracefully". After you can remove old php-fpm.
