start php-fpm.service problem

[satimis]

Hi all,

I'm following;
The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 12.2 x86_64 (Apache2, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3)
The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 12.2 x86_64 (Apache2, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3) - Page 4 | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

building the server on a VM of KVM

Host - Fedora 17 64bit
VM - OpenSuse 12.2 64bit
KVM

There is NOT much problem until coming to;

10.1 PHP-FPM
===========
Next create the system startup links for php-fpm and start it:

# systemctl enable php-fpm.service

php-fpm.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.
Executing /sbin/chkconfig php-fpm on

# systemctl start php-fpm.service

Job failed. See system journal and 'systemctl status' for details.

# tail /var/log/messages

I would guess that not being able to open the logfile is your problem. It is probably that the /usr/var/log dir does not exist. Maybe change it to /var/log in the init script or config file for php-fpm (not sure what that is). If php-fpm is installed via rpm, then you can list the files belonging to the package, e.g.:

rpm -ql php-fpm

The log file may be defined in the systemd file or a conf file.
