problem with php5-fpm on Nginx

I have php5-fpm running with nginx. Here’s my problem with php5-fpm:

If I try to reload/stop the daemon, I get a “reload: unknown instance” or “stop: unknown instance.” But there’s a php5-fpm init script.

If I try to restart it, I get:

<pre> stop: Unknown instance: php5-fpm start/running, process 12915 </pre>

Trying to start it just gives “php5-fpm start/running, process 13011.”

The output of “ps aux | grep -i php5-fpm” shows nothing, but “ps aux | grep -i php-fpm” shows three php-fpm processes running.

Does anybody know why php5-fpm is respondsing in this fashion?
