    I’m looking at upgrading a number of WP site to use PHP7 and possibly PHP-FPM.

    Are there any issues or actions I need to take into consideration for NF?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    You can check this article: Upgrading to PHP 7 with NinjaFirewall installed.
    As indicated, if you are using a php.ini file, you will likely need to rename it to .user.ini.

    Recently upgraded to php-fpm and I get a notice in all sites “NinjaFirewall fatal error: Unable to communicate with the firewall. Please check your PHP INI settings. Review your installation, your site is not protected.”.

    So I go through the steps in the plugin to set it up but it doesn’t put anything in the htaccess so the site knows where the user.ini file is.

    Uploaded wp-check.php and it said in red “php.ini found – .user.ini found – Warning: you have more than one INI file”.

    Is this my issue? I’ve always used user.ini, never really used the php.ini until upgrading to php 7.

    So I re-ran the setup steps and selected php.ini. It put the code into the php.ini file. I removed the user.ini. Plugin still says “Error: the firewall is not loaded.”. Same thing after restarting apache.

    Hi

    With your configuration, you would probably need to use .user.ini and, after adding NinjaFirewall’s directive to it, to restart PHP-FPM:
    In Debian (incl. Ubuntu, Mint etc): # service php7.0-fpm restart or # service php7.0-fpm restart.
    In RedHat (incl. CentOS): # /etc/init.d/php-fpm restart or # service php-fpm restart
    Using reload instead of restart will work too.

    Selected user.ini, restarted php/apache and I see “Error: the firewall is not loaded.”.

    Cpanel was updated to version 60, before this all the sites’ ninjafiewall worked. Now after version 60, php-fpm was available so it was turned on for the sites. They’re much faster now, but the plugin stoped working on them all. Thats all thats changed.

    Can you contact cPanel and ask them why PHP INI files stopped working after the update to v60? I assume it is just a small configuration problem.

    Seems with cpanel php-fpm the php.ini file in the domain directory is ignored and you have to place the items from the php.ini into the domain’s fpm config file.

    Does NinjaFirewall work now?

    I’m not messing with the php-fpm config files to get this working, so no, not working at this point.

    Weird thing is all the sites also started sending “[NinjaFirewall] Security rules update” AND “NinjaFirewall] Daily Activity Report” even though when I go to those sites to again turn off the notifications I can’t because it says “Error: the firewall is not loaded.”.

    That’s normal, the plugin is enabled. Disable it from the “Plugins” page to stop notifications.
