I think the best solution is to just use a dedicated php-fpm user. The default configuration is to listen on a tcp port, so the user doesn't matter. If you change the config to use a unix socket, then just add the webserver user to the php-fpm group.
Advantages: * works out of the box * easy to maintain * simple to explain * package names don't diverge from the stock layout Disadvantages: * ? - Carl ________________________________________ From: Ius-community [ius-community-bounces+carl.george=rackspace....@lists.launchpad.net] on behalf of Ben Harper [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2014 05:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Ius-community] RFC IUS php 5.6 FPM On 09/08/2014 04:04 PM, Ben Harper wrote: > Greetings, > > The initial build of IUS php56u packages will be hitting the testing > repo tonight for Red Hat and CentOS 7.

His idea was to have a dedicate package for FPM and Nginx, something like php56u-fpm-nginx. The php56u and php56u-fpm would continue to use Apache, while the php56u-fpm-nginx would be set up to work with Ngnix. I think this idea is worthy of consideration. -Ben _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ius-community Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ius-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ius-community Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ius-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
