Reason and Solutions :

1. If your php-fpm service is not started. You need to check the service if it is running or not.
 

service php8.2-fpm status
service php8.2-fpm restart

 
2. If another service already using the FPM instance. In my case I have installed WordPress and also using Zabbix service in apache, I wasn’t able to open my WordPress locally due to this error `ERROR: Another FPM instance seems to already listen on /var/run/php/zabbix.sock`. You can check it with the below command.
 

service php8.2-fpm status
