PHP5-FPM crashing: "server reached pm.max_children setting" (Ubuntu 14 - LEMP)
My WordPress droplet, 512gb/Ubuntu14/Swap/LEMP/never gave a problem. From today PHP5-FPM writes this message in /var/log/upstart/php5-fpm.log
:
WARNING: [pool www] server reached pm.max_children setting (5), consider raising it
So after reading, I’ve been increasing this size to 30 in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
but still writes the error, now:
server reached pm.max_children setting (30)
What’s the reason this is happening now? It hasn’t been a high traffic lately, and $free
shows 200mb free memory.

We will need to see your pool config to get more insight. None of this information points to a clear problem without the full details of the pool (what mode, how many starting children, etc)
Sure, details of
/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
