So far I have configured php-fpm configured and is up and running listening to port 9000
lighttpd is running and serves static files the problem that I have seems to be a permissions issue, so i chmod 777 -R /srv when I try to access index.php (which has phpinfo()) I get "access denied" in the browser.
in my fastcgi.conf I have
server.modules += ( "mod_fastcgi" )
fastcgi.server += ( ".php" =>
((
"host" => "crunchyboy",
"port" => 9000
))
)
if I use the browser to navigate to http://crunchyboy/index.php I get "Access Denied" that shows up in the access log as a 403 if i make up a file name like doesnotexist.php eg http://crunchyboy/doesnotexist.php I get a 404 file not found. If you are wondering about crunchyboy its the name of the machine and I can access it on the LAN. eg http://crunchyboy/index.html is ok
if I stop the php-fpm with systemctl stop php-fpm and navigate to index.php I get 503 Service Unavailable
so to me it looks like lighttpd is able to make a request to php-fpm but for some reason the file cannot be accessed.
I've configured php-fpm with nginx and apache in the past (more than 5 years ago) and did not have this problem.
I am really stuck with this, so would appreciate help or atleast ideas on what I need to look at.
Both lighttpd and php-fpm are set to run as user: lighttpd group:lighttpd Its on opensuse tumbleweed, recently updated
Many thanks in advance!
