Installing PHP-FPM on EasyApache 4

Hi! I am ATM running EasyApache 3 with suPHP. The server is really slow because of suPHP having to spin up processes for each request. I am going to update to EasyApache 4. So I want to change to PHP-FPM and found this guide: Configure PHP-FPM with User Pools for EasyApache 4 - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation My main issue is that I don't understand what the parameters mean: [LIST]

These instructions assume that your server runs EasyApache 4 and PHP 5.6.

In the examples below, ea-php56 represents the version of PHP to use.

In the examples below, the following are true: [LIST]

represents the name of a user on the system.

example.com represents the domain's base directory.

represents the user's account.

represents the name of the virtual host. Could anyone explain? Would be really nice. And I was also wondering, since PHP-FPM is just a manager f"r Fast CGI, can you run suEXEC when using PHP-FPM? I am running a couple of WordPress sites, all the latest version -> will they break if I change from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7? Thanks in advance.

  Hello, The document should now load well: Configure PHP-FPM with User Pools for EasyApache 4 - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation However, note that enhanced support for PHP-FPM isn't planned until cPanel version 60: Enhance FPM support Thank you.
