Failed to start The PHP FastCGI Process Manager

By

,

I am running MythTV on CentOS7 as per MythTV on CentOS 7 and it has been running fine and for no particular reason after cloning the VM it would not start FPM. When I cloned the VM I selected “I moved it” so it should have just worked.

FPM is installed as a service and uses Software Collections.

The error I was getting from systemctl was:

[root@mythsvr2 abrt]# systemctl status rh-php72-php-fpm.service

I also saw:

Solution

What worked for me was to uninstall and install fpm so I ran:

yum erase rh-php72-php-fpm
yum install rh-php72-php-fpm
systemctl enable rh-php72-php-fpm.service
start rh-php72-php-fpm.service

Then it was all working.

So I don’t really know what was wrong but an uninstall and reinstall resolved the problem and for me at least it didn’t require any reconfigurations.
