PHP 7 PHP-FPM Configuration File Location?

php.ini

If you are looking for the php.ini file, please see article: Where is my PHP php.ini Configuration File Located?

php-fpm.conf

If you have the locate command, you can simply search for the file:

locate php-fpm.conf

Alternatively, confirm which version of PHP you are using by listing the PHP directory.

ls /etc/php/
7.2

Above we are on version 7.2, therefore, php-fpm.conf should be in /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php-fpm.conf.

To edit the php-fpm.conf PHP-FPM config file with nano:

sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php-fpm.conf

www.conf

php-fpm.conf isn’t all of the php-fpm configuration. For serving web requests, php-fpm creates a new pool of processes, which have a separate configuration file www.conf.

If you have the locate command, you can simply search for the file:

locate www.conf

Alternatively, confirm which version of PHP you are using by listing the PHP directory.

ls /etc/php/
7.2

Above we are on version 7.2, therefore, the www.conf file should be in /etc/php/7.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf.

To edit this file:

sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
