PHP-FPM pool doesn't exists

Hello. When trying to add a new domain, I get the error: Error: php-fpm pool doesn’t exist. I installed updates in December and apparently something went wrong, but I found the problem only now, when I needed to add a new domain. Before everything worked fine, choosing php version for domains also worked. How can I solve this problem?

Please do not comment under 1 year old topics it will not improve the readability…

Make sure you you update to the last version. (Currently 1.3.2) an try again.

I have updated now to the latest version 1.3.2 and this did not solve my problem = (

Check systemctl status php-fpmX.X (X.X for your version, probaly 7.3 or 7.4), then you’ll probaly find more informations about the missing pool file.

I run command: systemctl status php7.3-fpm and i get:

What happens if you manualy restart your fpm service? Do you’ve also checked 7.4 (if installed)?

Run command: systemctl status php7.4-fpm, get: Unit php7.4-fpm.service could not be found.
Run command: service php7.3-fpm restart | stop | start, get: restarts, stops, and starts without error.
It cannot be restarted via the control panel, the timer is not reset.
In Hestia log: added php-fpm backend configuration for newdomainname.

I have active and running next version of php-fpm: 5.6, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3:

I found that this error occurs when a previously deleted domain name is added to the server. If I add a completely new domain, then the error does not occur! How can I add a previously deleted domain?

Problem solved! Updates have nothing to do with! When the domain was deleted, the php-fpm configuration files were not deleted - domainname.com.conf in the /etc/php/7.2/fpm/pool.d directory, then this site used php 7.2. Now when I added this domain again a new config file was created for it with php version 7.3, which is used by default, which caused the conflict since there were 2 config files. After deleting all files related to this domain in the /etc/php/7.2/fpm/pool.d, /etc/php/7.3/fpm/pool.d folders, I was able to create this domain without errors. If you have the same problem, check all /etc/php/-.-/fpm/pool.d folders for a domain configuration file, delete them and the problem will be solved.

Know issue in the past it should have been fixed now.

When you delete know an domain it should also remove the config files…
