Hi Mohammed. I know this was a long time ago. Do you still have the affected system? I'm guessing that you had installed php5-fpm before, then removed /etc/php5/fpm/main.conf , then removed the package (but not purged). dpkg respects a removed config file so the next time you install, it won't be "resurrected".

If thats the case, you could have done

dpkg --force-confmiss -i /var/cache/apt/archives/php5-fpm_5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2_i386.deb

Which would have brought back the config file.

Please try that and report back if you are still affected. Thanks!
