increase php-fpm listening queue not working in 2.7.0
-
You did look at this file :
?
That file will also tell you what to modify so the php-fpm will have persistent settings : you have to modify the file that creates the PHP config file : /etc/rc.php_ini_setup
See also the "www.conf" file in /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d about 'queue' examples.

@Gertjan Sir, I set the following value in the variables in /etc/rc.php_ini_setup :
PHPFPMMAX=2048
PHPFPMIDLE=3600
PHPFPMSTART=256
PHPFPMSPARE=384
PHPFPMREQ=5000This has increased my captive portal user load from few hundred to 1500+, but all of a sudden this queue overflow happens
"unix 193/0/128 /var/run/php-fpm.socket" and captive portal started showing BAD GATEWAY error to end users.How to resolve this problem, this issue is coming in 2.7.0, in earlier versions we were running 5000 users with captive portal authentication.
I think this 128 queue length is the issue, how can i increase this ?Thanks for the help!

Isn't this the issue :
There are two ? /var/run/php-fpm.socket 'files' ... that, IMHO, can't be right.

@Gertjan Sir, This is happening when I appended kern.ipc.somaxconn=4096 in sysctl.conf file and restarting the php-fpm using option 16 of the console.
This same new php-fpm.socket is appearing in my another pfsense machine (2.5.2), so this may be some long time bug.In brief, kern.ipc.somaxconn=4096 entry in sysctl.conf is not reflecting php-fpm queues after reboot, but they appears after restarting the php-fpm serivce from option 16.
Kindly help!

@Gertjan sir, any suggestions for the above issue ?
-
@yogendraaa
sadly, no, as I can not test with your usage condition => "5000+ devices" -
@Gertjan Sir, anything which I can debug ? specially it seems nginx is the culprit. Please suggest !!

@yogendraaa Upgrading my pfSense installations from 2.6 to the latest 2.7.2 version resulted in significant problems. I experienced network performance drops, low throughput, and frequent 502 & 504 Gateway errors. This occurred at all my test sites, including one with over 10,000 captive portal users. While smaller setups might not see issues. (image attached for reference.)
Downgrading back to pfSense 2.6 resolved all these issues. For my deployments, it seems the transition from IPFW to PF in 2.7.x might be causing problems, especially with captive portals. Enabling the captive portal in 2.7.2 directed most traffic to CPU0, causing it to overload and crash the entire system. This behavior was not observed with the same hardware, network, and users on pfSense 2.6. Without captive portal serives everything works normal in 2.7.2. Tested on three sites with 10K, 5K & 3K Captive Portal Users, Same result.

@wazim4u is there any way to fix ? I have already stup one test bed with vyos and packetfence to mitigate these dependencies on a single solution. Sooner or later packetfence core team may notice this issue. ipfw based CP is just implemented may be someday they will fix.
Please suggest any thing which i can try !!
-
@wazim4u Sir, may be you can try nginx configuration mods --> "accept_mutex on;" and "worker_cpu_affinity auto;"
-
@yogendraaa it seems issue is related to FreeBSD (Maybe) not only Nginx but the queues from NIC also have issue. with 2.6 as i mentioned all okay. but same hardware switching to 2.7.2, got CPU0 @ 100% which slow down everthing & then 502 & 504 errors occur. I am specific to Captive Portal implementation. attached image for reference.
