NAME

       php-fpm - PHP FastCGI Process Manager 'PHP-FPM'

SYNOPSIS

       php-fpm [options]

DESCRIPTION

       PHP  is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web
       development and can be embedded into HTML. This is a variant of PHP that will run  in  the
       background  as  a  daemon,  listening  for CGI requests. Output is logged to /var/log/php-
       fpm.log.

       Most options are set in the  configuration  file.  The  configuration  file  is  /etc/php-
       fpm.conf.  By  default,  php-fpm  will respond to CGI requests listening on localhost http
       port 9000. Therefore php-fpm expects your webserver to forward  all  requests  for  '.php'
       files to port 9000 and you should edit your webserver configuration file appropriately.
