To achieve seamless integration, it\u2019s crucial to have reliable PHP hosting<\/strong><\/a> services that support PHP-FPM. This ensures your website benefits from faster load times and is better able to handle spikes in traffic.<\/p>\n

PHP-FPM<\/a> is an improved PHP handler that uses a pool of workers (per domain) to quickly process PHP scripts. Once the script completes running, PHP-FPM provides the results to Apache to deliver to the visitor\u2019s browser.<\/p>\n

In this guide, you will learn the steps needed to enable PHP-FPM through Web Host Manager (WHM)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

NOTE: <\/b>A VPS<\/a> or Dedicated Server<\/a> with root access<\/a> is required to follow the steps in this guide.<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Log into WHM<\/a>, as the root<\/b> user.\n

    \"Web<\/p><\/li>\n

  2. In the WHM search bar, type \u201cphp<\/i>\u201c.\n

    \"WHM<\/p><\/li>\n

  3. Click the MultiPHP Manager<\/b> menu option.\n

    \"WHM<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Provision PHP-FPM<\/h2>\n
    NOTE:<\/b> You may notice messages warning you that the necessary configuration to enable PHP-FPM is not installed. If so, follow the additional instructions for provisioning the appropriate modules and extensions for PHP-FPM compatibility.\n

    \"WHM<\/p><\/div>\n

      \n
    1. Click the Install<\/b> button.\n

      \"WHM<\/p><\/li>\n

    2. Once the new window\/tab loads the EasyApache 4 provisioning Review<\/i> page, confirm the changes to be made to your server, to enable PHP-FPM.\n

      \"EasyApache<\/p><\/li>\n

    3. Then, scroll down and click on the Provision<\/b> button.\n

      \"EasyApache<\/p>\n

      A notification will appear which indicates the provisioning process completed successfully.<\/p>\n

      \"EasyApache<\/p><\/li>\n

    4. Close the window\/tab, then click on the <\/i>Refresh<\/b> button. This will allow WHM to detect the provisioned modules for PHP-FPM and the messages should no longer appear.\n

      \"WHM<\/p><\/li>\n

    5. \n
      NOTE:<\/b> If these notices do not appear, you may proceed to the next step.<\/div>\n

      \"WHM<\/p><\/li>\n

    6. Under the section labeled Set PHP Version per Domain<\/i> find the domain you want to enable PHP-FPM for and click the checkbox to the left of it. Then, select On<\/b> from the PHP-FPM<\/i> drop-down menu and click the Apply<\/b> button.\n

      \"Set<\/p><\/li>\n

    7. A notification will briefly appear indicating that PHP-FPM settings have been applied to the selected domain(s).\n
