Installing the AppDynamics agent for Ubuntu with nginx and php-fpm

I'm trying to install the agent on an Ubuntu box running nginx and fpm. After following the steps on this page

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO41/Install+the+PHP+Agent+using+a+Shell+Script

and running

sudo bash install.sh -a=[removed]@[removed] paid138.saas.appdynamics.com 8090  insite-development dev-tier myNode

then restarting nginx and php-fpm, I get no response. I kind of just hit a brick wall and don't know about how to debug this. Any tips on where to start?

Thanks,

Dan

Same thing here..I tried everything..the so extension is loaded, inserted the ini config directly to php.ini AND NOTHING!!!
I get only the top green line connecting, but not the php agent. This is waste of time.
Thank god I did not purchased it

Hi deyan.dv,

Yeah, Ubuntu structures their config directories a little differently than other platforms. The install script will need a parameter to target the proper config directory for php-fpm. You may need to do some hunting for the proper directory, here's a command that might help: cd /etc && ls | grep php | xargs ls. It should give you some hints as to where the fpm conf.d directory resides.

On my local Ubuntu this is /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d. So the install.sh command would then be: sudo ./install.sh -i /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d <rest of command>.

Please let me know if that resolves this issue for you!

Thanks and regards,

Kyle

Same setup, same issue. It is not working.

Documentation is confusing and not helpful at all. Spent quite some time reading the doc to get started yet it is not working.
