I have written a script that copies magento files and database from our production server and tries to configure it on a subdomain on our testing server.
Each testing site has:
– unique subdomain
– running under unique user specified in php-fpm pool
Here is the php-fpm pool config:
[test1]
user = test1
group = test1
listen = /run/php/php7.0-test1-fpm.sock
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
So I would set up subsequent sites under different users like so:
[test2]
user = test2
group = test2
listen = /run/php/php7.0-test2-fpm.sock
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
The problem comes when I try to duplicate the magento nginx server block (abbreviated version pasted below):
upstream fastcgi_backend {
server unix:/run/php-fpm/php-test1-fpm.sock;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name test1.magento-dev.com;
set $MAGE_ROOT /usr/share/nginx/html/test1;
include /usr/share/nginx/html/test1/nginx.conf.sample;
}
If I duplicate the config like so:
upstream fastcgi_backend {
server unix:/run/php-fpm/php-test2-fpm.sock;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name test2.magento-dev.com;
set $MAGE_ROOT /usr/share/nginx/html/test2;
include /usr/share/nginx/html/test2/nginx.conf.sample;
}
I get error because the fastcgi_backend upsteam is already defined. I read the nginx documentation for upstream and it says it is a pool of servers but I don't really understand what is going on here to specify upstream like this to handoff php requests.
What am I doing wrong? How should I setup multiple magento sites on subdomains running under different users?
How I fixed it:
I renamed the upstream but I didn't realise that the upstream name is used in proxy_pass. You have to edit the proxy_pass in nginx.conf.sample in magento root.

Here's how I set up multiple pools using Nginx and PHP 5.6. I don't use paths, I use sockets. I've slightly edited my files to make them more generic, so if anything doesn't match assume it's a typo.
/etc/php-fpm-5.6.d/pool1
/etc/php-fpm-5.6.d/pool2
/etc/nginx/upstreams.conf
Here are relevant parts of my Nginx location blocks.
/etc/nginx/site1.conf
/etc/nginx/site2.conf
