Editing PHP FPM Configuration for a vertual server

[mazataza]

I am tring on dev server to use nginx stack.. i have 2 php version installed

php5.6

php7.4`

i can switch php version in FPM mode without any issue. currently i set it to 7.4 but when tring to edit the php-fpm configuration under "Services/PHP-FPM Configuration" it always try to edit the configuration for php5.6 which not exist. i have somthing like this URL https://192.168.4.54:10000/phpini/list_ini.cgi?file=%2Fetc%2Fphp%2F5%2E6%2Ffpm%2Fpool%2Ed%2F1643654253103481%2Econf&xnavigation=1

i use virtualmin 6.17-3

Is the link to edit the PHP config still wrong, even if you logout and login again?

[mazataza]

yes even if i logout and again login. i tried just before

[iliajie]

yes even if i logout and again login.

What if you clear cache using right side slider?

If that doesn't help, try re-running config check using Virtualmin / System Settings ⇾ Re-Check Configuration link.

Does it help?

What distoro and version you're on?

[mazataza]

i am on ubuntu 20.04 (64bit) server edition. tried both (clear cache and run re-check, but doesn't help.

@mazataza Do you see this when you logged in as master administrator or server owner?

@jcameron Jamie, I see some problems too, related to PHP for server owner.

Ubuntu 20.04

1. Permissions access issue - even though Administration Options ⇾ Edit Owner Limits for a domain do not have enabled Can edit PHP and website options, PHP Configuration options are still available on the menu (and work just fine when clicked on) when logged in as server owner, including Configure Website (different links but the same happens in FCGId/FPM modes). Although, limiting option Can select PHP versions is considered and works as expected.

   To be specific access option edit_phpmode is ignored (even though updated on domains .acl file).

CentOS 7

1. Exactly the same problem as described for Ubuntu 20.04
2. Although, when master administrator changes PHP to FPM, server owner still sees the PHP-FPM Configuration link, but cannot access the module disregard of Can edit PHP and website options limiting option and the error returned -- You are not allowed to manage this PHP configuration file.

[mazataza]

i run as master adminstrator not domain owner

[iliajie]

i run as master adminstrator not domain owner

These issues may be connected. Also, what is the output of the following command:

apt list --installed | grep php

`bukhari@dev:~$ apt list --installed | grep php

@mazataza If you install php-cli package, and re-run config check, clear cache, change PHP version afterwards -- does it change anything for you?

If after all that I just suggested, it doesn't work, can you go to Edit Virtual Server and hit save button, re-saving virtual server details, and again clear cache -- do you get the right link?

I cannot reproduce the issue you're having, although I have discovered more PHP related bugs to fix.

[mazataza]

i have ..

1- installed php-cli (which install php8.1) 2- run recheck and cleared the cache 3- changed php version from 7.4 to 5.6 and then redone point 2 and then change back 7.4 and redone point 2 nothing changed 4- edited virtual server and save it. 5- cleared cache nothing changed.

[mazataza]

i will try in a new test enviroment to install virtualmin with apache first with 2 php versions then disable apache and activate nginx plugin ans see if the issue still exist.

[mazataza]

i installed a fresh ubuntu 20.04 and installed a fresh virtualmin (lamp stack) and configured a default server. and check that when switching php-fpm for different version i can edit php-fpm configuration for the selected php version now i changed the stack to nginx by installing nginx plugins and disabled apache plugins and disabled apache services in my ubuntu. the result is same, i still have same issue. always try to edit php version 5.6 although i configured my site to use 7.4.

all the test enviroments are running on VMWare

@jcameron Jamie, is this an issue for you?

[jcameron]

Unfortunately currently the "Can edit PHP and website options" permission doesn't control access to editing php.ini

But we could add that I suppose ..

[iliajie]

Jamie, have this been implemented yet?

[jcameron]

No, not yet

[iliajie]

The issue with incorrect menu link for PHP-FPM configs was just fixed.
