The previous comment about installing the php-process package on Centos or RHEL might not be valid anymore.

[root@nagios-test lilac]# yum install php-process

In case that you are running PHP on CentOS or other RHEL clone distro which the POSIX support is disabled by default, you will need the php-process package to enable it. Simply install it via the yum:

$> yum install php-process

and then restart the web server.
