Hello, I'm running Apache 2.4 on FreeBSD 13. I was running PHP 7 then decided an upgrade to 8. Ever since then I've not been able to get my test php script to work. Checking the logs both Apache error and php-fpm it is looking like the php-fpm process is dying then respawning, atempted connections take a while then eventually time out with a 503 message. The below is debug log from php-fpm.log while atempting a connection to the info script. #service php-fpm start Performing sanity check on php-fpm configuration: [15-Jul-2022 18:11:08.474913] NOTICE: pid 31874, fpm_conf_init_main(), line 1813: configuration file /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf test is successful Starting php_fpm. #tail -f php-fpm.log [15-Jul-2022 18:11:20.800009] DEBUG: pid 32691, fpm_pctl_perform_idle_server_maintenance(), line 398: [pool www] currently 0 active children, 2 spare children, 2 running children.

The rest repeats. Apache gives me an error dispatching message given how hard fpm is working I'm not surprised it's timing out. #ls -l phpinfo.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root www 20 Jul 12 15:33 phpinfo.php #cat info.php <?php phpinfo(); ?> #cat /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf [global] pid = run/php-fpm.pid error_log = log/php-fpm.log log_level = debug process_control_timeout = 60 process.max = 128 daemonize = yes include=/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/*.conf #cat /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf [www] user = www group = www listen = 127.0.0.1:9000 listen.backlog = -1 listen.allowed_clients = 127.0.0.1 pm = dynamic pm.max_children = 50 pm.start_servers = 2 pm.min_spare_servers = 2 pm.max_spare_servers = 4 pm.process_idle_timeout = 10s; pm.max_requests = 500 request_terminate_timeout = 300 php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on Help appreciated.
