Possible Bug: php5-fpm does not listen on a socket by default

Great idea.. also found the same request in Debian. Thomas, if you have a patch for this, I'll make sure it gets sponsored into Debian and precise ASAP. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I do not know enough about the structure of the PHP upstream code (nor the package) to make such a modification. I am sure someone else will, though.

Clint: I'm trying to create the patch now, once I do, I'll upload it to this bug. I'm working off the source package that exists in Precise at the moment, though, but the basics should be the same.

I am attaching a patch created via quilt that fixes this bug.

Note that i have just attempted to upload a patch to fix the deb bug that was included in this bug. I do not know the outcome of that upload, nor will I know whether or not the thing is actually accepted.

Once I know anything, i will let you know (I might have accidentally changed the name in the debian patch).

Thomas, you've done everything right, and I appreciate your patience.

I want to make sure that the Debian PHP maintainers are on board with this change.. as this isn't something we'd want to have work differently than Debian, even if it is "better".

I've forwarded your patch.. and tagged the bug so hopefully it will get a look soon. I won't necessarily wait for this to land in Debian, as we're up against feature freeze next week, but I do want to see a response at least.

Since we need to wait for a response from Debian, I'm unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors now. If for some reason I miss their response, please feel free to comment back here and re-subscribe ubuntu-sponsors.

Not sure if easier (you need to check permissions, etc.), but I have merged the patch into upcomming PHP 5.4. We haven't shipped php5-fpm to stable yet, so I don't really have to care for backwards compatibility - although I have added records into NEWS file - feel free to cherry-pick.

The latest merge from Debian included this. Fix Released in precise.

Whoops, this was only fixed in 5.4.0 in debian, so we did not ship it in precise.

According to what I can see, 5.4.4 (which already has this fix) is in Quantal, but the debian/changelog did not reference this LP bug. Should this bug here (which is Wishlist / Triaged) be changed to Wishlist / Fix Released ?

Thanks Thomas, marking Fix Released.
