Hi all,
I just allowed my droplet to update to "the latest version of our cloud" and now I am having issues with Nginx/PHP5-FPM
I get the following error multiple times when I try to start FPM
init: php5-fpm main process (3586) terminated with status 78
Followed by
init: php5-fpm respawning too fast, stopped
I've not changed anything config wise, and it was working fine after a restart before the droplet upgrade.
Any tips?
What method are you using to start/restart php5-fpm? If you are using the /etc/init.d/php5-fpm script directly this is likely the cause of the issue since php5-fpm utilizes upstart. I've found a couple places with additional information and solutions for this issue which can be found below:

Mysterious error with php5-fpm
In the future when starting/stopping/restarting php5-fpm you can use the commands:
service php5-fpm start #Start the service
service php5-fpm stop #Stop the service
service php5-fpm restart # Restart the service
Hi
In my case, we changed de rlimit_files to
rlimit_files = unlimited
and php fails to start. If we change the directive to
;rlimit_files = unlimited
php5-fpm runs ok.
Hopefully this will help someone. I had the same problem - and using the
"service php5-fpm restart" or "service php5-fpm start" command did not work (returned the status 78 error followed by the "php5-fpm respawning too fast, stopped" notice).
Solution was to edit the /etc/init.d/php5-fpm file and add a sleep command inside the do_start() function before it closes:
Function that starts the daemon/servicedostart()
{
# Return
# 0 if daemon has been started
# 1 if daemon was already running
# 2 if daemon could not be started
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON --test > /dev/null \
|| return 1
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- \
$DAEMONARGS 2>/dev/null \
|| return 2
# Add code here, if necessary, that waits for the process to be ready
# to handle requests from services started subsequently which depend
# on this one. As a last resort, sleep for some time.
sleep 20
}
