Apache 2.3/2.4 has a new "mod_proxy_fcgi" module. For fun (and maybe, profit), I was experimenting in using proxy_fcgi in conjunction with PHP-FPM instead of mod_php5 for execution of PHP scripts. The first issue that arises is that error page generation is completely left to PHP-FPM. Since FPM delivers error codes like 404 without any page context, one essentially gets a blank page in browsers. It is only wget/curl where one sees that something has yielded a 404. Can I somehow get Apache to deliver the usual text error pages when a FastCGI request yields a 4xx/5xx error? Second, one needs to give the full filesystem path of the PHP script in the FastCGI request for FPM to find it. This implies splicing DOCUMENT_ROOT into the proxy request. "ProxyPassMatch" does not seem to be able to do that, so I ended up with mod_rewrite up to now. (And contrary to the Apache docs suggest, the [P] RewriteFlag is not to be used when wanting to rewrite the protocol/host portion.) RewriteEngine On RewriteRule \.php$ proxy:fcgi://localhost:8002/%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{SCRIPT_FILENAME} I share the dismay you might be expressing at seeing that. Is there a nicer way to configure accessing FPM through FastCGI? thanks, Jan --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
