Trying to follow a guide on iRedMail’s installation, but I can’t get any further as I can’t install the FPM module for PHP. This is the error I get:

Hello friend!
Have you made a custom configuration for php-fpm on this system? This line seems to suggest that it is configured to run as root:
Aug 15 20:00:58 <my mail server> php-fpm7.0[22519]: [15-Aug-2018 20:00:58] ERROR: [pool root] please specify user and group other than root
Ideally it should run as a privileged user (www-data is a common example), and it may not start when configured to run as the root user.
Kind Regards, Jarland
@jtittle Hello we need some help for our website on Digital Ocean. When we try to configure website via Wordpress/Flatsome Ux builder tool or when we try to import products via All Import plugin we are getting 504 errors. Digital Ocean Contol Panel is showing high PHP-FPM usage during proccesses. Now we can neither configure home page nor import products to our web site. Can you have a look to investigate the problem and suggest us a solution?
