# PHP-FPM 5.2 config directory **This is different from all other PHP-FPM versions** PHP-FPM 5.2 uses XML-style configuration and does not allow includes. If you want to change PHP-FPM settings for PHP-FPM 5.2 you need to adjust the main configuration file. The currently enabled configuration file is bundled in this directory: `php-fpm.xml-default`. In order to make adjustments, copy it to `php-fpm.xml` and change values. ## How to enable Settings are only enabled if a file named `php-fpm.xml` is present. All other files are ignoed. ## Important Do not simply add anything in that file. You must copy php-fpm.xml-default and adjust values step by step. The `php-fpm.xml` will completely overwrite PHP-FPM configuration.
