PHP-FPM multiple versions

AlexejR

New Pleskian
Hello,

I am running Plesk Panel 11.5.30 on Ubuntu 12.04.4, and I wonder how I can switch between multiple PHP versions when I have selected PHP processing to be handled by nginx.
Installing another PHP version according to the documentation went fine, but I can only use the new version when PHP processing is handled by apache. If I switch a domain over to nginx/PHP-FPM, I can only select the old version.

"/usr/local/bin/psa/php_handler --add" does not accept "php-fpm" as the type parameter, so I cannot see how I would go about doing this, although it surely must be possible.

Thanks in advance!
 
Well, that's a bit disappointing.
Is there a way to change the version php-fpm is using? I don't mean that there have to be multiple versions, I'd also be fine with completely upgrading the 5.3 php-fpm to 5.5, as long as the 5.3 remains usable for other domains running on apache + fastcgi.
 
php-fpm installation requires one of 'atomic' or 'remi' repositories enabled. So, you can contact vendors of these repositories with question about version update.
