Hello Hugo,

Been using Hiawatha for a while and still kicking strong. While Hiawatha is not at fault here (I am able to go to a non php virtual host - the default one - and it works SSL and all) I can't however access my php sites. I keep getting a "can't connect to FastCGI server PHP5" in my hiawatha system log files.

I take a look at the php-fpm process and it is in fact running (I have it set a static config with 4 child processes) :

ps aux | grep php
root      1042  0.0  0.3  98900 11624 ?        Ss   06:42   0:00 php-fpm: master process (/etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf)                    
www-data  1074  0.0  0.0  98900  2936 ?        S    06:42   0:00 php-fpm: pool www

www-data  1077  0.0  0.0  98900  2936 ?        S    06:42   0:00 php-fpm: pool www                                                       
rixa      3469  0.0  0.0   5672   832 pts/3    S+   07:48   0:00 grep --color=auto php

each child process is owned by the same user as hiawatha is (www-data - ServerId = www-data)

Looking inside the hiawatha file I have set up the php fcgi like so :

FastCGIserver {
        FastCGIid = PHP5
        ConnectTo = 127.0.0.1:9000
        Extension = php
}

Within the www. conf for the FPM the config settings are like so:

; Unix user/group of processes
; Note: The user is mandatory. If the group is not set, the default user's group
;       will be used.
user = www-data
group = www-data

listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
listen.mode = 0666

listen.allowed_clients = 127.0.0.1

I am quite confused as to what could be causing the problem. Any tips would be very helpful.


Hiawatha version: 9.3
Operating System: Lubuntu 13.10

I am however getting errors from the FPM

php5-fpm (I run this as a command in the command line)
[14-Dec-2013 08:05:09] ERROR: failed to open error_log (/var/log/php5-fpm.log): Permission denied (13)
[14-Dec-2013 08:05:09] ERROR: failed to post process the configuration
[14-Dec-2013 08:05:09] ERROR: FPM initialization failed

Are you sure the PHP FastCGI process is listening on port 9000? I'm missing the 'listen' setting in your config.

2 days of work and multiple reformarts all led down to one line:

ConnectTo = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock

the fpm was listening to the socket (which is fine for my test bench)

keep up the good work Hugo! I haven't used anything but Hiawatha for the past year since 8.5 (I have yet to have time to look at Banshee )
