I recently installed PHP 5.3.8 from source distribution on Ubuntu 11.04.

Here's the first parts of my configure directive:

./configure --enable-fpm --with-fpm-user=php-fpm 
--with-fpm-group=php-fpm --prefix=/usr/local/php-5.3.8 
--exec-prefix=/usr/local/php-5.3.8 
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php-5.3.8/etc 
--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/php-5.3.8/etc

Afterwards, I downloaded a sample for the shell script file that I used for /etc/init.d/php-fpm. I got the script from here: http://svn.php.net/repository/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/sapi/fpm/init.d.php-fpm.in. I edited the file and added the paths to relevant locations and then I copied the contents to /etc/init.d/php-fpm.

I chmod +x php-fpm and then attempt to start it with ./php-fpm start and I get the following error:

Starting php-fpm [07-Sep-2011 02:55:34] ERROR: bind() for address '127.0.0.1:9000' failed: Address already in use (98)

I changed the listening port number in php-fpm.conf and I still get the same error.

One thing I noticed is that there doesn't seem to have been a php.ini file created. I've looked everywhere for it under my prefix php directory and other places. I'm not sure if this is what is causing the problem.

I'd appreciate any guidance on how I can get PHP working.

Thanks.

EDIT: This is what I get when I use the command: lsof -i -P

I'm not sure why they are so many though, I'll have to look at the php-fpm.conf.

Well, the simplest explanation to the port being in use would be that the port is, in fact, in use.

What do you get from lsof -i -P?

  • Lol, I figured that much but I had no idea what to do about it. Here's the last few results from lsof: php-fpm 11859 php-fpm 0u IPv4 398087 0t0 TCP localhost:9500 (LISTEN) php-fpm 11860 php-fpm 0u IPv4 398087 0t0 TCP localhost:9500 (LISTEN) php-fpm 11861 php-fpm 0u IPv4 398087 0t0 TCP localhost:9500 (LISTEN) sshd 12342 root 3r IPv4 408697 0t0 TCP WorbServer1:22->41.206.11.43.vgccl.net:30961 (ESTABLISHED)

You can also use

fuser 9000/tcp

That will list all the pids running on that port.. easy way to kill them all

fuser -k 9000/tcp

  • fuser doesn't seem to be on my system for some reason (I'm using a Rackspace Cloud Server with Ubuntu 11.04). I intuitively tried apt-get install fuser but that didn't work.
