Zabbix has taken over php8.3-fpm

[tyler_h]

Hello friends.
I recently installed zabbix to try it out. Everything was fine and good with the install until I restarted the machine. Upon rebooting the server, I have lost most functionality of my websites being hosted behind nginx.

The service php8.3-fpm will no longer start as zabbix has taken over the sock....

root@mainserver:/# service php8.3-fpm start
Job for php8.3-fpm.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status php8.3-fpm.service" and "journalctl -xeu php8.3-fpm.service" for details.

& investigating that error gave me the info...

Apr 03 08:14:59 mainserver php-fpm8.3[140857]: [03-Apr-2024 08:14:59] ERROR: Another FPM instance seems to already listen on /var/run/php/zabbix.sock
Apr 03 08:14:59 mainserver php-fpm8.3[140857]: [03-Apr-2024 08:14:59] ERROR: FPM initialization failed
Apr 03 08:14:59 mainserver systemd[1]: php8.3-fpm.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=78/CONFIG

I don't know how or why this is happening but need to resolve it asap.

Perhaps uninstall the zabbix web front end?

Or modify your PHP-FPM pool configuration so that your main pool of php-fpm workers runs as nginx or whatever your web user is and uses its own socket, and the zabbix pool of PHP-FPM workers run as the 'zabbix' user and use a different socket path.

Either way, the problem is that the PHP-FPM worker pool for zabbix is conflicting with your existing pool. You don't say anything about what distro or version you're using, so I can't provide a hint where your php-fpm.d directory is, but the error message you show is definitely a PHP-FPM pool conflict.

Thank you. I removed the software. I was running it on ubuntu 22.04
