php-fcgi init scripts no longer being created

Submitted by kindnation on Wed, 08/31/2016 - 01:20

I've been using Virtualmin with Nginx/PHP-FCGI for quite awhile and it's been working fine.

On a new Virtualmin/Nginx installation, after creating a virtual server, the php-fcgi-example-com init script in /etc/init.d/ aren't being created. (They should be there, comparing it to my other Virtualmin/Nginx servers)

After a reboot, it will result in a 502 Nginx Bad Gateway (no php-fcgi).

I have many servers running on Nginx/Virtualmin and the missing php-fcgi init script just started happening within the past month or so.

Can you fix this?

On a working server, when I create virtual server, I get the following status:

Compared to a new Virtualmin install that isn't starting the PHP FastCGI server:

You can replicate the problem with a new Virtualmin/Nginx install.

1) Create Virtual Server 2) Create phpinfo file for virtual server 3) "it works" 4) reboot 5) Can no longer access phpinfo file: 502 Nginx Bad Gateway 6) Same conclusion, there's no php-fcgi-domainname-com in /etc/init.d/

Which Linux distribution and version are you running? The location and process for creating init scripts varies a lot between versions.

I'm running Debian 8 on all systems. The php-fcgi-example-com init files are all in /etc/init.d/

I think the issue started after the last webmin update. Do you want remote access to a server? I can put up a clean VPS for you to test on.

On our Debian 8 server, we usually got php-fcgi-xxx scripts created in /etc/init.d/ for new sub-server. After upgraded to 5.04, php-fcgi-xxx script is not created in /etc/init.d/.

Same problem on CentOS 5.11 and CentOS 6.8

I can confirm the same issue on CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) with nginx as reported by JG.

It's taken me about 4 hours to get here but atleast we know it is a bug! Any idea on an update to resolve?

Thank you!

What has to be done before you plan on fixing this? This is a pretty serious bug, not having PHP.

Can you please acknowledge the bug exists?

Any update on this please?
