Many webmasters who switch to nginx+ php-fpm suffer from 500,502 problems. When nginx receives the above error code, it can be determined that something is wrong with php-fpm parsing php at the back end, for example, execution error, execution timeout.

The configuration file for php-fpm.conf has a parameter request_slowlog_timeout as described below


; The timeout for serving a single request after which a PHP backtrace will be
; dumped to the 'slowlog' file. A value of '0s' means 'off'.
; Available units: s(econds)(default), m(inutes), h(ours), or d(ays)
; Default Value: 0
;request_slowlog_timeout = 0

When request_slowlog_timeout is set to 1 concrete second, request_slowlog_timeout =5, indicating that if any script takes more than 5 seconds to execute, the script will be logged to a slow log file

request_slowlog_timeout =0 means slow log output is turned off.

The slow log file location defaults to the log folder in the php installation directory and can be specified by changing the slowlog = log/$pool.log.slow parameter.

php-fpm example of slow logging. Slow logging records the process number, the script name, and the specific file and line of code which function took too long to execute.

request_slowlog_timeout and slowlog need to be set at the same time, while request_slowlog_timeout needs to be turned on, slowlog needs to be turned on

[21-Nov-2013 14:16:27] ERROR: Unable to create or open slowlog(/usr/local/lnmp/php/log/www.log.slow): No such file or directory (2)

Slow log paths need to be created manually

Specific steps to start php-fpm slow logging:


cd /usr/local/lnmp/php

vi etc/php-fpm.conf
 To get rid of request_slowlog_timeout  , slowlog Prefix semicolon ';' To set up request_slowlog_timeout =5 ; 
:wq
 Save the exit 
 Create a slow log directory 
mkdir log
 restart php-fpm
kill -INT `cat var/run/php-fpm.pid
sbin/php-fpm
