PHP-FPM and Apache Mod_Userdir

exelletor
Hello guys, I am having quite a lot of issues with speed optimization of my VPS, so I started with performing mysqltuner.pl tests, enabling cache etc. Eventually I ended up installing WHM 60.0.5 (current?) to enable PHP-FPM support. I managed to enable PHP 7 and PHP-FPM for a number of my websites and they are totally fine - they are not as fast as a Ferrari, but they have very decent load speeds, especially compared to how slow they were before. However, the tricky part is that I can not enable PHP-FPM support for the rest of my websites. In total I have about twenty of them, most of which are development websites. After I try to enable PHP-FPM, I notice that the website gets slower and when I perform a php-info test, I see that PHP version has changed to 5.6. Still, in the Multi PHP manager it still shows as 7.0. The website that is trying to beat a Ferrari shows the correct 7.0 version of php. All of the websites are just ordinary Wordpress/Woocommerce websites... What could be causing this? My VPS specs are: Centos 7 Dual Core 1.5 GB RAM 50GB SSD

    Just to rule it out: have you tried restarting Apache and php-fpm? /scripts/restartsrv_httpd /scripts/restartsrv_apache_php_fpm

    I didn't know about the existence of cPanel ticket support, but the problem is now sorted. For users that might run into the same issue as I did - PHP-FPM is not compatible with mod userdir. So you need to view your websites through the regular domain like domain.com and not with cPanels host.com/~user which I used for my staging environments.

    Hello @exelletor, Thank you for taking the time to update this thread with the outcome. Currently, when you browse to "WHM > Security Center > Apache Mod Userdir Tweak", you will see the following message if Mod_Ruid2 or MPM_ITK are enabled: mod_userdir is disabled Web server processes on this system currently run as the user. For security reasons, mod_userdir is disabled in this case. Consequently, no changes you make in this interface will take effect until mod_userdir is enabled. To use mod_userdir, you must disable mod_ruid2 and mpm_itk and recompile EasyApache.
    Internal case CPANEL-9418 is open to reduce confusion by updating this message to include PHP-FPM and the CGI handler for PHP, as neither are compatible with Mod_Userdir. I'll update this thread with any status updates on this case as they become available. Thank you.
