Shortly: how can I include the same settings across several php-fpm pools without repeating them for each pool?

Details

In php5-fpm there are global directives and per pool directives. In all examples and documentation, each pool has all required settings, e.g.

[www] user = $pool group = $pool listen = 127.0.0.1:9001 listen.owner = $pool listen.group = $pool pm = ondemand pm.max_children = 5 pm.process_idle_timeout = 30s chdir = /var/www/$pool [www2] user = $pool group = $pool listen = 127.0.0.1:9002 listen.owner = $pool listen.group = $pool pm = ondemand pm.max_children = 5 pm.process_idle_timeout = 30s chdir = /var/www/$pool

As you can see, most of the configuraton is the same, so I wonder if there is a way to put that configuration in a place where all pools can implicitly or explictly include them.

Just putting them at the bottom of the [Global] section is not working.

Thank you for any suggestion.

  • If I just add pm configuration at the end of the main "php-fpm.conf" file, it is not included. I get the process manager is missing (static, dynamic or ondemand). I guess that's because that's a "per pool" type of setting. Commented Dec 7, 2015 at 16:31

After trials and errors, I found that you can safely use the include directive to, well, include settings :-)

I created an additional /etc/php5/fpm/common.conf file: 

user = $pool group = $pool listen.owner = $pool listen.group = $pool pm = ondemand pm.max_children = 5 pm.process_idle_timeout = 30s chdir = /var/www/$pool

And now all my pools can be as simple as this:

[www] listen = 127.0.0.1:9001 include = /etc/php5/fpm/common.conf [www2] listen = 127.0.0.1:9002 include = /etc/php5/fpm/common.conf

Additional notes:

  • yes, you have to specify the full path to the common file, because current path for fpm process is NOT the pool.d folder

  • yes, all interpolation is done, so $pool becomes www or www2 at runtime

Hope this could be also useful to someone else.

  • any idea why it doesn't work on php-fpm7.2? I get: ERROR: [/etc/php-fpm-7.2.d/common.conf:1] unknown entry 'user' Commented Nov 7, 2018 at 16:13

    @NizarBlond according to current documentation user is still a valid entry: php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php. So I guess something else must be wrong in your configuration file. Commented Nov 8, 2018 at 8:30
  • I was trying to override it inside pool config but included file seems not to get overriden. Any ideas? Commented Feb 11, 2021 at 22:26
  • @Baterka only a guess, but if you want to override something which is already defined in the common config, you should put the include directive at the top and THEN add the overrides. Honestly, I never tested that. Let us know how it works out for you so we can extend the answer accordingly. Commented Feb 12, 2021 at 10:05
