How to make edits to php-fpm conf files that will stick after Hestia Updates?

user7632726 · June 8, 2021, 5:58am

Hoping someone can help point me in the right direction.

I needed to update the pm.max_children value for one of my domains on my server. I noticed that the php-fpm conf files get overwritten with HestiaCP updates.

The file I was editing was here: /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/domainname.com.conf.

I assume I should be creating a new conf file somewhere else and adding the pm.max_children value in it so that it doesn’t get overwritten. I’m new to php-fpm, can someone please help. Thanks!

**Please include as much information as possible in your issue report, such as t…he configuration of your server and any troubleshooting steps that you've already performed.** **NOTE: Do not include any personal or sensitive information, such as email addresses or passwords.** === ### In a few words, please describe the issue that you're experiencing: When rebuilding a user or after a Hestia upgrade where users are rebuilded, custom pool configurations are reset e.g. the below in /etc/php/phpversion/fpm/pool.d : pm pm.max_children pm.max_requests pm.process_idle_timeout There are cases that you need to amend the above values eg in high traffic websites. At least if not preserved then kept somewhere before upgrade/rebuild. But I strongly believe they should be preserved. ### What steps did you take when the issue occured? 1. Ex.: Click on the Web tab 2. Ex.: Click on Add Web Domain 3. Ex.: Attempted to add a domain and received an Internal Server Error. ### Expected behavior: Please enter your answer here (e.g. the web domain should have been added successfully). ### Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS ### Hestia Control Panel version: 1.1.1 ### Additional notes: If there is anything else that you'd like us to know about this issue, feel free to share here.

Thank you for the clarification!

Can you please help clarify one point further, I’m confused by what “YOURNAME” refers to in the documentation. In the linked documentation, it states to use the template files in this folder location: /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/php-fpm and says to use the naming convention of YOURNAME-PHP-X_Y.tpl where X_Y is the PHP version.

I’m confused by the YOURNAME. I don’t assume this is the username, because these are templates for specific domains, correct? So would the correct filename be mydomainname.com-PHP-7_4.tpl?

Thanks!

Yes or random-PHP-7.4.tpl for example

Since you gave the random example without a .com or .net, I would like to confirm. Do I need to include the TLD as well?

Let me give a very clear example:
The domain settings I want to customize is for the domain abc123.com, the Hestia config file is here:
/etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/abc123.com.conf

So, based on what I understand I should create a file with my customizations, with this filename in this location:
/usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/php-fpm/abc123.com-PHP-7_4.tpl.

Is the above correct. Or should it be abc123-PHP-7_4.tpl (please note, I noticed in your example you used 7.4.tpl instead of 7_4.tpl. I assume that was a typo on your part).

Thanks!
