FPM is available in a separate SVN branch

Hello all. I'm glad to announce that we now have FPM SAPI available for testing in a separate SVN branch. You can check out its sources using the following command: svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3_FPM php_5_3_fpm Building FPM is as easy as ./configure --enable-fpm && make install. After that you need to adjust the default config file (installed into $prefix/etc) and run php-fpm. For those who don't know what FPM is: FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for heavy-loaded sites. These features include: - advanced process management with graceful stop/start; - ability to start workers with different uid/gid/chroot/environment and different php.ini (replaces safe_mode); - stdout & stderr logging; - emergency restart in case of accidental opcode cache destruction; - accelerated upload support; - "slowlog"; - fastcgi_finish_request() - special function to finish request & flush all data while continuing to do something time-consuming (video converting, stats processing etc.); and some more. You are welcome to test the code and report any issues to me (since it's not fully official, we don't have a category @ bugs.php.net yet). -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal --- http://pinba.org - realtime statistics for PHP
