Two pools are used. The default pool (`www`) handles all normal pages. A
second small pool handles only `auth/admin_reflector_api.php`, because that
script calls `exec()` to reach the sudo helpers (step 9) and you do not want
`exec()` enabled for the whole site.
second small pool handles only `auth/admin_reflector_api.php`, so its longer
timeout and separate process limits do not affect the rest of the site.

sudo cp install/php-fpm-svxadmin.conf /etc/php/8.4/fpm/pool.d/svxadmin.conf

In the default pool hardening is recommended. Edit
Hardening of the default pool is recommended. Edit
`/etc/php/8.4/fpm/pool.d/www.conf` and add at the end:
```ini
php_admin_value[disable_functions] = exec,passthru,shell_exec,system,popen,proc_open,proc_close,pcntl_exec,dl,phpinfo,show_source

Do **not** add `exec` to that list. The portal uses `exec()` in the default
pool too: `openssl req` to read the e-mail out of a pending CSR, and the sudo
helpers from the node pages (`auth/node_auth_api.php`, `auth/node_cmd_api.php`,
`auth/admin_nodes.php`). With `exec` disabled those pages return errors.

The dashboard (node list, map, monitor, last-heard, trunks) fetches JSON and

the account/admin/talkgroup pages work, but the front page's node list, map,

banner: the API helper returns null on a failed fetch and the page keeps its
empty tables. Check the browser console (404 on `/svxportal/api/status`) if
you are unsure.
