Description
Description
There's a small bug while building php-fpm, but with no prefix definition. After build process you get an /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf.default, but the include path is wrong;
# current
include=NONE/etc/php-fpm.d/*.conf
# should
include=/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/*.conf
To solve this, you can simply run ./configure with --prefix=/usr/local flag.
I searched a bit in the code & think there's a missing default setting in C, but I'm too stupid for that language :-) Found out following lines of code, may this will help a bit for faster debugging :-)

PS: There's an old workaround in current official docker images for that, seems they were too frustrated a) trying a rebuild with prefix flag & b) opening an issue :D

PS²: Is it possible to generate the config-files without ´.default` suffix? :)
