Can't change execution mode from php-fpm to fcgid (after upgrade?)

[kintaro1981]

Debian 8 php 5.6.33 phpfpm Virtualmin 6 (upgraded from 5.99)

If I try to change the php execution mode from PHPFPM to FCGId I got a:

Changing PHP execution mode to FCGId (run as virtual server owner) ..
Failed to save website options : No PHP command found!

I suspect that the problem came up after the upgrade from 5.99 to 6. (I've done it updating the ATP repository).

it is related to this: https://www.virtualmin.com/node/53457

I temporarily solved downgrading from 2.3 to 2.2: apt-get install webmin-virtualmin-nginx=2.2

I have the same problem. We will wait for the answer

Does the php or php5 command exist on your system? If you didn't install the php-cgi package, it may not.

[kintaro1981]

In my case php and php5 command exist.

:~$ php5 -v

Just tested this on a fully updated CentOS 6 system, with no problems.

Is everyone who's seeing this bug using Debian or Ubuntu?

[kintaro1981]

I’m on Debian 8 (with nginx 1.10.3)

Take a look here too: https://www.virtualmin.com/node/53457

[jcameron]

I just tested on a freshly installed and fully update Debian 8 system with PHP 7.1, and was able to switch to and from FPM mode just fine.

Which PHP version is everyone using?

[kintaro1981]

As said in the OP of this issue I have php 5.6.33

Take a look also at the link to the VM forum I provided.

[jcameron]

Also tested this with just PHP 5.6.33 installed, and I was able to switch PHP modes just fine.

[kintaro1981]

other people have the same problem (see the forum link), maybe they can give you more info about this

downgrading from webmin-virtualmin-nginx=2.3 to webmin-virtualmin-nginx=2.2 solved my problem

I didn't check differences between 2.2 and 2.3 (here on github there's no 2.3, right?).

@pzamanis - does the command php or php5 exist anywhere on your system?

[kintaro1981]

@jcameron do you need more info from me? I would like to help to fix that. It seams that all the other people are not very active here on GitHub and on VM's forum.

[jcameron]

@kintaro1981 - any chance I could login to your system to see what's going on here?

[pzamanis]

@jcameron i am sorry for the delay ,

i do not understand the question, where should i look (if you need credentials to my server i ll be happy to give you)

[jcameron]

You can send me login credentials at jcameron@virtualmin.com , and I'll take a look.

I have an inverse problem ... After some third party installations, or rather, almost installations since I canceled when I looked it was going to uninstall Virtualmin ... And I started having problems with my servers ...

Like I said, my problem is the opposite. The CGI option appears but others like php-FPM and others do not appear ... I uninstalled PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 all of them ... CLI, FPM CGI and their extensions ... And I installed again ... I did Reboot on services and server ... Several times, but did not get results.

I tried apt-get install webmin-virtualmin-nginx = 2.2 but says it's in version 2.5

@jcameron I do not understand, you want the server login, for you to verify?

Any solution?
