Hello,
There are several sites on configuring apache with php-fpm. Many don’t work,
some appear to be contradictory.
Thus far, I found two configurations that work, but I am not sure which one is
more correct. By “more correct” I mean
less convoluted
less hidden issues
less security problems
better performing
…
This is on a ubuntu 16.04 LTS server, running apache 2.4.18, mpm-event, with
php7.0-fpm installed. I do NOT have mod_php installed. For my test, I am just
running the phpinfo() function call.
Here are the configuration methods I have found to work:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) using mod_alias, mod_fastcgi, and mod_actions:
<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
Require all granted
</Directory>
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
AddHandler php7-fcgi .php
Action php7-fcgi /php7-fcgi virtual
Alias /php7-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7-fcgi
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7-fcgi -host
127.0.0.1:9000 -pass-header Authorization
</IfModule>

it seems hacky: it needs a cgi-bin directory to be configured, but
doesn’t actually put anything in a cgi-bin directory to execute...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) using mod_proxy, and mod_proxy_fcgi
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$
"fcgi://localhost:9000/var/www/html/$1" enablereuse=on

it seems more elegant, but I don’t know how speedy it might be.
Thank you for your time!
