Due to LaunchPad Bug #900620, and Debian Bug 650204, the PHP package was modified in both Debian and Ubuntu (for PHP versions 5.4.0 and newer) to have php5-fpm listen on a UNIX socket by default, running at /var/run/php5-fpm.sock.
This had a “NEWS” item in debian/NEWS, but was very obscure, and not extremely recent,so this change went by semi-stealthily.
Anyone upgrading to Quantal from Precise or earlier which have servers using php5-fpm assuming that it’ll continue to listen on 127.0.0.1:9000 will need to change their configurations to adapt for this change!
