Package: php5-fpm Version: 5.6.20+dfsg-0+deb8u1 Hi,
/usr/lib/php5/php5-fpm-checkconf greps for errors using the pattern "\[ERROR\]". php5-fpm seems to report errors without "[" "]" though. As a result php5-fpm-checkconf basically never reports an error. For example a syntax error results in: # /usr/sbin/php5-fpm --fpm-config /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf -t [08-May-2016 22:15:25] ERROR: [/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf:1] value is NULL for a ZEND_INI_PARSER_ENTRY [08-May-2016 22:15:25] ERROR: Unable to include /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf from /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf at line 1 [08-May-2016 22:15:25] ERROR: failed to load configuration file '/etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf' [08-May-2016 22:15:25] ERROR: FPM initialization failed Cheers, Felix
