I've followed the instructions located at http://php-fpm.org/download/
for integrating php-fpm with PHP 5.3.2 source on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

The buildconf, configure, make, and install steps execute without
incident. However, when I run php-fpm, I receive the following
errors:

[ERROR] [/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf:1] unknown entry '<?xml version'
[ERROR] failed to load configuration file '/usr/local/etc/php-
fpm.conf'

If I delete the xml doc declaration from the first line of the config
file, the error message changes to:

[ERROR] [/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf:1] value is NULL for a
ZEND_INI_PARSER_ENTRY
[ERROR] failed to load configuration file '/usr/local/etc/php-
fpm.conf'

Any suggestions? I'd be happy to provide more detail if necessary.

Thanks,
Dejay

Sounds like you're using the XML format of config file and the newest
PHP-FPM versions use an INI style.

Jerome is it documented anywhere other than the RFC (which isn't
totally end-user friendly in the current form I think)

Is this something that should be noted in the changelog, at the least? Is
the new config file format backwards incompatible, or merely deprecated?

I had hoped it would be a completely different filename but I am not
sure. I have no real-world 5.3.x-ready code and have been too busy to
try it out on my home box and have fun with it. Jerome and/or Antony
can speak to that stuff

everything is documented in the pfp-fpm.conf.default which is the only
place where it's documented.

I have an Ubuntu Lucid package of php5-fpm at https://launchpad.net/~brianmercer/+archive/php if you want to try using that instead of compiling. I used the Ubuntu source package and kept all the same patches and compile options. It's based on a recent svn version and installs a /etc/php5/fpm/php5-fpm.conf file that uses the ini format.

Try out the fcgiwrap package while you're at it. https://launchpad.net/~brianmercer/+archive/fcgiwrap

Let me know if you run into any problems.

Excellent, I'll be giving this a try on my low volume setup this week.
Thanks.

brianmercer,

Thanks for doing this. I'm testing it now. Right off the bat I'm noticing a
dependency on php5-cli which probably doesn't need to be there, but that's
pretty minor. So far its looking good.

You're right, I'll take that out. For some reason, I was confusing the php5 package with php5-common and thinking I needed one of the other SAPIs to get php5-common, but I don't. It's just the php5 metapackage that won't work without another SAPI.

The svn was recently patched with a fix to the dynamic settings. I'm not sure how often to update the package against the svn before people get annoyed that they have to update all the time. What do you think?

I've been struggling with the same thoughts for some packages I'm
maintaining. In this case, I think the Ubuntu php5 maintainers do a great
job of striking that balance in maintaining an up to date but also highly
stable package. If you're taking recommendations, I'd suggest you follow
right along with the official Ubuntu package.

Thanks a lot, Brian!
Just installed NginX + php5-fpm on Lucid Lynx, using your PPA.
I had difficulties on configuring NginX fastcgi properly... but now everything is running fine! Cool!!!
