My current configuration is:
Apache2 + MPM-Worker AND FastCGI + PHP5-fpm (PHP 5.3.2) ON Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
I have a single pool of 2-5 processes running as a different user from that of the default www-data. FastCGI/PHP5-fpm is configured as an external server via FastCGIExternalServer
I know that I can setup multiple pools running as different users …
But, I want to know if it is possible to use suEXEC in this type of setup? And, could it be setup with just a single pool? If so, how?
Best Answer
As of now, It is not possible to run a script as anything other than the user defined in the FPM pool.
You would need to setup a different pool and define the other user/group.
Is there some reason you can't or don't want to create separate pools?
EDIT: If you are worried about wasting idle resources, there is some talk about creating an "ondemand" feature for fpm-pools, that would essentially "fire up" the pool when it gets requests: http://groups.google.com/group/highload-php-en/browse_thread/thread/753ddceff2ef0411/8ebaddeec4f676f0?lnk=gst&q=idle+pool#8ebaddeec4f676f0
I highly recommend the highload-en php google group "...for discussing php, FastCGI, php-fpm and all technologies around for use in high loaded environments." http://groups.google.com/group/highload-php-en?lnk=srg
