php7.0-fpm.service: Main process exited /etc/php/7.0/ or /etc/php/7.1/

  • 772

when running

sudo apt-get update and

sudo apt-get upgrade

I get in red the following error: Failed to start The PHP 7.0 FastCGI Process Manager.

I noticed that I have /etc/php/7.0/ and /etc/php/7.1/ but that only the 7.1 has a fpm sub-folder in it. Somehow something must be cross-linked somewhere.

How can I fix this?

  1. This worked for me -- (I am running Ubuntu 17.04)

    I did a fresh install after removing php. Over all this added a bunch of new folders. Now I have 5.6 7.0 7.1 and 7.2.

    source: Migrating from PHP 7.0.x to PHP 7.1.x

    For fresh installation on Ubuntu 16.04 (I am running 17.04) If we want to install new version && Remove all php dependencies sudo apt-get remove php*

    sudo apt-get install php7.1 php7.1-cli php7.1-common libapache2-mod-php7.1 php7.1-mysql php7.1-fpm php7.1-curl php7.1-gd php7.1-bz2 php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-json php7.1-tidy php7.1-mbstring php-redis php-memcached
