[Php-java-bridge-users] how to configure PJB to use PHP-FPM

[<php...@li...>]

hi,

>From PHP 5.3.3, it bundles with the PHP-FPM(http://php-fpm.org/). I have
setup PHP-FPM pools that work fine with Nginx, e.g. in Nginx, the following
configuration connects to a PHP-FPM process:
  location ~ \.php$ {
    ...
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/my_path/php-fpm.sock; // also work when using port
number
     ...

Does PJB supports PHP-FPM? How to configure the FastCGIServlet to use it? by
default, it seems to look for a "php-cgi" binary.

Hi mingfai,

I think we should wait until both, Fedora Linux and Windows PHP 5.3
binaries ship with php-fpm enabled.


I haven't tested it, but the PHP/Java Bridge should work with php-fpm.

Please either change the global.properties (see JavaBridge.jar zip
file within JavaBridge.war zip file within the
php-java-bridge_6.2.1_documentation.zip file) or start the JVM with
the argument -Dphp.java.bridge.php_exec=php-fpm[.exe] or please change
your WEB-INF/web.xml.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the current Windows binary doesn't contain php-fpm. I wonder if one
build a Window binary from source, the php-fpm may work.

The php-fpm executable/binary is to start pre-configured php process pool
that each pool listen to a port/unix socket. I have a few sites using
Nginx+PHP-FPM running apps like Wordpress. As I have started PHP-FPM
manually, I think JavaBridge should not need to invoke the php-fpm(.exe) at
all as any invoke will spawn additional "listener" instead of actually
process/interpret php code. Instead, JavaBridge should connect to the
listening port of any started php-fpm pool only. I tried to make PHP-FPM to
listen to the default 9667, and the use_fast_cgi to disable autostart (used
"no") but it still doesn't work.

In readme, it mentioned:

I assume a started php-fpm is a fcgi server. and I want to make JavaBridge
use the fcgi server that i have started manually without trying to spawn any
fcgi connection/process. does it make sense? do you know if php-fpm is a
kind of fcgi server that JavaBridge may support?

I'm trying to look at the source code to try to get this work. Now, I'm
studying ContextLoaderListener and FastCGIServlet. Any pointer would be
appreciated.

"no" disables fastcgi altogether. Please set it to On.

Yes, definitely. If you use PHP/Java Bridge version 6.2.1, remove
php-cgi and then ask for some PHP page, the bridge will return an
error message asking you to start a fastcgi server process.

Certainly. Just start it and configure the bridge to connect to its
TCP port (Unix) or NamedPipe file (Windows). Or let the bridge decide
which port or file to use and start the fastcgi process afterwards.

In version 6.2.1 the configuration has been moved from the
FastCGIServlet to the ContextLoaderListener, please see the NEWS file
for details: http://php-java-bridge.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge/NEWS?revision=1.87&view=markup

thanks for your help. I'm about to get it work now. :-)

one of the things I did it wrong before is I have configured the php-fpm
pool with a chroot jail. the root path is changed by the chroot that
JavaBridge has no knowledge about.
