What is the correct location for php5-fpm conf file in Ubuntu and how is it set?

Question

I've got two servers running Ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04.

In the 10.04 server, /etc/php5/fpm contains a php5-fpm.conf. In the 10.10 server, /etc/php5/fpm contains a main.conf.

I'm trying to automate my conf updates, so they need to both use the same file, but I can't figure out how to tell php where the conf should be found.

What I'd like to do is rename main.conf to match the other server's php5-fpm.conf, but I don't want to chance breaking php to do it as it would mean down time for my users.

Thanks!

If you want to test something, you use your test environment -- that's what it's there for. Even better is to have the ability to quickly throw together a scratch environment in which you can play around with things like this and then throw them away when their purpose has been served.

As far as the filename goes, it's location is configured in the FPM init script (or however you choose to start and stop it). Hence, there are several ways you could handle the situation, from a symlink if required, to providing a modified init script, or just detecting what the config file should be called (either based on the Ubuntu release of the machine, or -- far better -- by examining the init script on the system) and putting it in the right place. You could even take the "shotgun" approach of putting it in both places on all machines, if you wanted.
