[save and exit]

yum-config-manager --enable nginx-mainline

yum install nginx ---> will give 1.27 which we need for latest (or higher)


cd /etc/opt/remi/php83/php-fpm.d/
vi www.conf -> as usual etc.

;php_value[opcache.file_cache]  = /var/opt/remi/php83/lib/php/opcache --> uncomment and see what happens

COmment these as we use memcached:
; php_value[session.save_handler] = files
; php_value[session.save_path]    = /var/opt/remi/php83/lib/php/session


cd ..
vi php-fpm.conf

systemctl start php83-php-fpm
systemctl enable php83-php-fpm
systemctl status -l php83-php-fpm

systemctl enable memcached

reboot to see status -l on mariadb is ok


cd /
find . -name *opcache* -print
create new file:
vi /etc/opt/remi/php83/php.d/10-opcache.ini
as usual values
(Perhaps refer: https://computingforgeeks.com/install-php-opcache-on-rocky-alma-centos/)


do nginx configs, /etc/pki/tls is used.

nginx not connecting properly at this stage. Continue...

dnf install pcre-devel gcc zlib zlib-devel


extension=zip.so; to php.ini????



vi /etc/opt/remi/php83/php.ini


the usual

Fix nginx permissions from apache
cd /var/opt/remi/php83/lib/php
ls -l

Fix www.sock
cd /var/opt/remi/php83/run/php-fpm/

change srw-rw----+ 1 root root 0 Oct 28 13:11 www.sock to: srw-rw---- 1 nginx nginx

php83-php-fpm.service is in these directories:

DID NOT WORK (above)

/var/opt/remi/php83/log/php-fpm/error.log

THIS WORKED:

/etc/opt/remi/php83/php-fpm.d/www.conf - had another apache entry to change to nginx
