# Enable PHP-FPM on new cPanel accounts and domains

`GET /php_set_default_accounts_to_fpm`

This function determines whether to enable PHP-FPM on new accounts and domains on a server.

**Important:**

When you disable the [Web Server role](https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/general-systems-administration/how-to-use-server-profiles/#roles), the system **disables** this function.

**Warning:**

We **strongly** recommend that you only activate Apache PHP-FPM if your server has at least 2 GB of RAM available, or at least 30 MB of RAM per domain. If you enable PHP-FPM on a server with less than the required RAM, your server may experience severe performance issues.
