PHP-FPM vs inherit

General Hosting / cPanel
#1

Hi everyone,

I was checking out the steps to review my PHP version given the upcoming change to remove PHP 8.0 and 8.1. All good there, my PHP version is 8.2.

But when I was poking around in MultiPHP manager I discovered that my domain has PHP-FPM set, and when I tried to use “inherit” PHP version I got an error saying that you can’t do that if you have PHP-FPM.

I did a little digging around for what PHP-FPM is, and it is a bit beyond my knowledge. Just wondering: what are the pros and cons of using PHP-FPM vs setting your site to “inherit” the default PHP version. I’m happy leaving it as is if that is a good approach!

Hi Cristina,

Sorry for the delay here. PHP-FPM essentially is what we are defaulting to on servers because it is faster and has help up speeds for sites. If you are having issues with it let me know and we can figure out an aalternative.
