Service Management Commands

aaPanel can only manage programs installed from aaPanel. If it is installed using apt or yum/dnf commands, it cannot be managed.

If you encounter a problem, Can first check the logs of the relevant programs, troubleshoot the problem based on the logs, or provide us with log feedback.

Nginx Service

Nginx, openresty, tengine

Website configuration directory	/www/server/panel/vhost/nginx
Main configuration directory	/www/server/nginx/conf/
Main configuration file	/www/server/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
Start command	/etc/init.d/nginx start
Stop command	/etc/init.d/nginx stop
Reload command	/etc/init.d/nginx reload
Restart command	/etc/init.d/nginx restart
View status command	/etc/init.d/nginx status
Configure test command	/etc/init.d/nginx configtest
Nginx program directory	/www/server/nginx
Log file	/www/wwwlogs/access.log
Error log file	/www/wwwlogs/nginx_error.log

• Tip: If installed Nginx from apt or yum/dnf command, please stop it first systemctl stop nginx, and prohibit booting systemctl disable nginx, then use aaPanel to install

Nginx Problems and Solutions

• nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)

  

Solution:

1. Use a terminal or SSH tool to log in to the server and use root privileges.

2. implement netstat -tulnp|grep -w 80 Command to view the program occupying the port. You can see that the process ID: 1085797 program name: nginx

   The Nginx path installed by aaPanel is: /www/server/nginx/sbin/nginx

   Tip: /www/server/panel/webserver/sbin/webserver is a built-in nginx of the panel. Please ignore it.

3. Check the specific path based on the process ID or program name you displayed.

   ps aux|grep nginx or ps aux|grep 1085797

4. If the path shown in the figure below is: /usr/sbin/nginx, it means nginx is installed by apt or yum/dnf

5. need to stop systemctl stop nginx, and prohibit booting systemctl disable nginx

6. Finally start Nginx installed in aaPanel:/etc/init.d/nginx start

MySQL / MariaDB Service

Data storage directory	/www/server/data
MySQL program directory	/www/server/mysql

PHP

Panel PHP is installed by default in /www/server/php/version

Here we take php8.2 as an example: Please replace 82 according to your version. Note that there is no .dot symbol in the middle.

Main configuration directory	/www/server/php/82/etc/
Start command	/etc/init.d/php-fpm-82 start
Stop command	/etc/init.d/php-fpm-82 stop
Reload command	/etc/init.d/php-fpm-82 reload
Restart command	/etc/init.d/php-fpm-82 restart
View status command	/etc/init.d/php-fpm-82 status
Configure test command	/etc/init.d/php-fpm-82 configtest
PHP program directory	/www/server/php/82/
Log file	/www/server/php/82/var/log/php-fpm.log

• Tip: aaPanel does not support the use of apt or yum/dnf command to install PHP.

PHP Problems and Solutions

• failed to activate: /tmp/php-cgi-84.sock': Address already in use

  Solution:

  exist File Interface: Go to /tmp/ and find the php-cgi-84.sock file (replace it with your PHP version here), click Delete, and finally restart the PHP service.

  

---

• Install PHP extension

  1. Some common PHP extensions provided by aaPanel may be installed by:
  2. If not found, try to compile and install using the command

  • Reference 1 : PHP8.3 installation of ionCube:

    1. Download the files related to your operating system architecture from the official website, https://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php

    2. Unzip the file and find the so file of the corresponding php version, such as: ioncube_loader_lin_8.3.so

    3. Place it in /usr/local/ioncube/ and then add the configuration content to the corresponding php version configuration file.

    4. Such as the so file of php8.3: /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_8.3.so

    5. Add the configuration file, restart the PHP service, and check whether it is correct:

       zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_8.3.so

       

  • Reference 2 : Manually compile and install tidy extension for php7.4:

    1. Install dependencies first Centos: sudo dnf install libtidy libtidy-devel

       Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install libtidy-dev

    2. Download tidy expansion file

       https://pecl.php.net/get/tidy-1.2.tgz
       tar xvf tidy-1.2.tgz
       cd tidy-1.2

    3. Modify to the php version you need to install

       php_version=74

    4. Compile and install extension

       /www/server/php/${php_version}/bin/phpize
       ./configure --with-php-config=/www/server/php/${php_version}/bin/php-config
       make
       make install
       extFile="tidy.so"
       echo -e "extension = " ${extFile} >> /www/server/php/${php_version}/etc/php.ini
       echo -e "extension = " ${extFile} >> /www/server/php/${php_version}/etc/php-cli.ini
       /etc/init.d/php-fpm-${php_version} reload

fileinfo related

• Install the extension fileinfo in App Store --> Installed --> PHP-Version

• After installing fileinfo, it still prompts that the fileinfo extension does not exist.

To take care of the installation of machines with small memory, aapanel uses the disabled fileinfo parameter by default.

You can use the ssh tool to log in to the server, and use root permissions to execute the command to install PHP. PHP with fileinfo turned on by default

1. Download the php compilation and installation script

wget -O php.sh http://node.aapanel.com/install/0/php.sh

2. Replace disabling the fileinfo parameter with enabling it

sed -i "s/--disable-fileinfo/--enable--fileinfo/g" php.sh

3. Install php-7.4, if it is not 7.4, please replace 7.4 with your php version

bash php.sh install 7.4

shell_exec，putenv etc. PHP functions

Disabled by default to improve PHP security shell_exec``，putenv If you need to enable it, please go to App Store --> Installed --> PHP-Version --> Disabled functions to delete it, and restart php service.

Or add # comment in the configuration file disable_functions And restart PHP service
