how do i check if php-fpm is serving php request

Question

i've installed php-fpm on Centos 5.8 + Apache2

So, the question is: how do i check if php-fpm is serving the php requests ?

With an index.php like this one below

echo "php-fpm test";

calling http://localhost/index.php the output is fine, but

if I run

service php-fpm stop 

the same call works fine anyway.

Why?

You can install a package and try and connect. The package name is called libfcgi.

cgi-fcgi -bind -connect localhost:9000

If I was to guess, you probably installed PHP to spawn workers that don't disconnect when FPM is stopped, or you are running both /etc/init.d/php5-cgi and /etc/init.d/php-fpm.
