How to enable FPM or FastCGI mode for PHP Print

The following steps will show you how to enable FPM or FastCGI for PHP execution in Plesk. Please note that we strongly recommend using FPM mode.

1. Login to Plesk
2. Under Websites & Domains, choose the domain you are encountering this issue with
3. Choose the PHP Settings button
4. Change the option to "run PHP as" to Apache + FPM

Now PHP will be in FPM mode. You may alternatively select Apache + FastCGI mode, however FPM mode is the better choice.

Tip: most web apps will not work with Nginx + FPM mode as that mode will not read any .htaccess files, which are typically required for most web apps to work.
