URGENT ISSUE-Server down, apparently due to wrong PHP setup

development

Hello,

I have tried getting help from Linode staff since yesterday evening, but it has really not solved anything at all. We come from CleverKite and were recommended to come over here since it closes in 2015, but we are actually amateurs when it comes to any web development. I was told to come get help from the community for :

"There appears to be an error in the way your fastcgi (PHP) is set up."

The message that appears on our website is the following :

__503 Service Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.__

Honestly, I was told so many probable causes and suggested to do so many different things to try to identify what was wrong that I really have no idea why it would suddenly be due to wrong php setup. Even then, I do not know how to check what is wrong with it and how to fix it.

We migrated only Monday, and the site (http://worldbeyblade.org) was OK except for some MySQL connection issues until Tuesday around 8 PM, and since then our server has been down without any changes. Some of the solutions I was given are to resize to a higher plan, costing us double the amount, as well as rebooting a few times. Technically though, we were also told that everything seemed perfectly fine with our server, the Linode Manager even says it is "Running", but that our site pulls up that 'Service Unavailable' page anyway.

At the beginning, we were told that what might have caused this downtime is that our server OOMed.

Our website is a community message board of many thousand Members, so downtime like this really needs to be at a minimum, such as no more than 48 hours …

Thank you very much for whoever tries helping us.

What does your web server's log say?

Hello,

As I had mentioned, nobody on our staff is particularly knowledgeable about that, but I was asked to run a few commands, so hopefully what you are looking for is somewhere :

I don't see any php-fpm process, which must run on 127.0.0.0:9000. Command "netstat -anop" will give you network connections.

Check other /var/log files if you find one from php-fpm. You could check config in /etc/php5/fpm/ (I hope is there in your linux distribution)

Here is what I got, does it help ?

netstat -anop

I did not find /etc/php5/fpm/ Any idea of specific var/log files to check for php-fpm ?

Yup, php-fpm isn't running. It should be listening on 127.0.0.1:9000. How did you start it the first time?

What OS are you running, and how did you set it up?

Also, you can wrap long blocks of text like that in 'code' tags and it'll show up monospaced, making it much easier to read. Like this:

Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name Timer
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:20000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4009/perl off (0.00/0/0)

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4174/perl off (0.00/0/0)

That's left-bracket code right-bracket to start, and left-bracket /code right-bracket to end.

I did not start anything the first time, I have no idea what changed from one 'time' to the other.

We are on Linux - Ubuntu.

How would I get php-fpm running or listening ?

Did you use any particular instructions/guidelines to set up the server?

Not really, since we asked Linode staff to do our migration and set us up.

Hmm. Well, hopefully the work is still under warranty…

Try:

service php5-fpm start

If that works,

update-rc.d php5-fpm defaults

and make sure it still works after a reboot.

It says "unrecognized service" after the first command …

Is it really a problem that could be on the warranty if our site/server worked from Monday noon to Tuesday evening, and then everything stopped working ?

I don't know if there's a warranty, but somehow, your web server is expecting there to be a FastCGI backend on 127.0.0.1:9000, there is not a FastCGI backend on 127.0.0.1:9000, and the most obvious way to start one (service php5-fpm start) isn't working.

We can guess how to fix it, but they will probably know.

The problem is that the technical staff is on holidays until January 5th …

I apologise if double-posting is prohibited, but I ended up finding a tutorial to install php5 and fastcgi, and it is now fully started and running, even after a reboot, but our site is still not working …

Which tutorial did you follow, exactly? Also, pelase post the output of the following four commands:

uname -a

tail /var/log/apache2/error.log

ls -l /etc/init.d/fpm

service –status-all | egrep 'fastcgi|fpm'

It was this actually :

https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/ap … ith-apache">https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/apache/running-fastcgi-php-fpm-on-debian-7-with-apache

Here are the results :

That tutorial recommends using Unix Domain Sockets, but Apache is still trying to connect through TCP.

Try to change PHP-FPM from UDS to TCP:

  • edit /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

  • change "listen" line from something ended with .sock to -> listen = 127.0.0.1:9000

Restart PHP-FPM: sudo service php5-fpm restart
