Init Script Setup
===

You'll probably want to create a init script for your new php-fpm. Fortunately, PHP 5.3.3 provides one for your, which you should copy to your init directory and Change permissions:

$ CP <PHP-5.3.3-SOURCE-DIR>/SAPI/FPM/INIT.D.PHP-FPM.IN/ETC/INIT.D/PHP-FPM
$ chmod 755/ETC/INIT.D/PHP-FPM

It requires a certain amount of setup. First of all, make sure your php-fpm.conf file are set up to create a PID file when PHP-FPM starts. e.g.:
----
PID =/var/run/php-fpm.pid
----
(also make sure your PHP-FPM user have permission to create the this file).

Now open up your new init script (/ETC/INIT.D/PHP-FPM) and set the variables on the top to their relevant values. e.g.:
---
prefix=
exec_prefix=
php_fpm_bin=/sbin/php-fpm
Php_fpm_conf=/etc/php-fpm.conf
Php_fpm_pid=/var/run/php-fpm.pid
---

Your init script is now ready. You should now is able to start, stop and reload PHP-FPM:

$/etc/init.d/php-fpm Start
$/etc/init.d/php-fpm Stop
$/etc/init.d/php-fpm Reload

The one remaining thing the wish to does is to add your new PHP-FPM init script to system start-up. e.g. in CentOS:

$/sbin/chkconfig PHP-FPM on

Disclaimer:although I did just does this in my own server about mins ago, everything I ' ve written here is off the top of My head, so it could be 100% correct. Also, allow for differences in system setup. Some Understanding's doing is assumed.
