I am running cpanel 60.0.24 under MultiPHP Manager I have a question on what handler to use. Since I am running PHP-FPM for all sites what handler should I have selected? I have SUPHP currently selected Syatem setup below: PHP-FPM is running on all my sites. all sites are using PHP56 I have memcache and memcached running easy apache 4 in running. CLOUDLINUX 6.8 x86_64 xenpv currently running centos 6.4 (is there any benefit to upgrading this)?

  Hello, Enabling PHP-FPM for a domain name ensures PHP applications for that domain name are served through the mod_proxy_fcgi Apache module. This essentially updates the PHP handler for the individual domain name. Since you can't set the PHP-FPM handler as a global PHP handler, the default global PHP handler (suPHP in your case) is utilized for domain names with PHP-FPM disabled. You can find documentation on this at: PHP Handlers - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation Thank you.

  thank you, that is exactly what I needed to know and I appreciate the link to docs. I also would like to know if CPANEL handles the centos upgrades? If not is it safe to upgrade to 6.8 but stay away from 7?

  Hello, OS upgrades are considered a system administration task and are not handled by cPanel. Upgrading from one major version to another (e.g. CentOS 6 to CentOS 7) is not recommended. Instead, it's advised that you setup a new server with CentOS 7 and then migrate the accounts to the new server using "WHM >> Transfer Tool". That said, you can generally use "yum update" safely to upgrade to new minor versions of CentOS. Thanks!
