Linux / Unix - Restart PHP Service Command

To restart the PHP service on a Unix or Linux system, you will need to use a command or script that is specific to the method used to install and manage PHP on your system.

Here are some common methods for installing and managing PHP on a Unix or Linux system, and the corresponding commands or scripts that can be used to restart the PHP service:

1. If PHP was installed using a package manager (such as apt or yum), you can use the service or systemctl command to restart the PHP service. For example:

service php7.4-fpm restart
systemctl restart php7.4-fpm

2. If PHP was installed as an Apache module, you can use the service or systemctl command to restart the Apache service. For example:

service apache2 restart
systemctl restart apache2

3. If PHP was installed as a FastCGI module, you can use the service or systemctl command to restart the web server service. For example:

service nginx restart
systemctl restart nginx

4. If PHP was installed using a custom script or installer, you may need to consult the documentation or the script itself to determine the appropriate command or script to use to restart the PHP service.
