How to select/update cgi vs fcgi vs phpfpm

paulev · June 24, 2020, 9:43pm

New to HestiaCP coming from VestaCP. I’m installing some web apps that supports either CGI, FCGI or PHP-FPM. I don’t see how to see which one is being used and/or how to select one over another. Certain web apps support don’t support one or the other.

Also, looking to see if these settings can be on a per domain/site basis.

One other question, after installing HestiaCP and wish to disable nginx as proxy is it as simple to disable that in server configuration. I tend to notice I get error when disabling the nginx/proxy after the site is setup.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

You could install Hestia without nginx: use the --nginx 'no' install flag

Yes this can be selected per domain how you want to use them. How ever by default the Apache2 with PHP-FPM only have 1 template availble how ever more templates can be found in the non fpm folder

Also with 1.2.0 we switch over to “event” mode if PHP-FPM is enabled by default

How ever you could use --phpfpm during the install and switch over to PHP fpm
