Hello,So, the need to make sense of this is not an issue: I will be using the mod_proxy_fcgi to use php-fpm. I am just curious.While trying various configurations to get php-fpm to work, I found the following conundrum: the following configuration should NOT work but it does...Here is the apache configuration snippet derived from this site dated last August.<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>Require all granted</Directory><IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>AddHandler php7-fcgi .phpAction php7-fcgi /php7-fcgi virtualAlias /php7-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7-fcgiFastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7-fcgi -socket /var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock -pass-header Authorization</IfModule>Here is the php-fpm www pool socket definition as configured out-of-the-box:listen = /run/php/php7.0-fpm.sockMy test php script calls phpinfo() only. It works. It’s not clear how it works.Apache opens /var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sockphp-fpm opens /run/php/php7.0-fpm.sockremoval of either file causes php not to work.When I point apache to the socket file php-fpm opens, it does not work.HOW? How does apache manage to connect to php-fpm when the defined socket paths do not make sense? As far as I know, the unix socket file is simply opened and read/written to: there’s no way to tell linux “connect both files to each other” from within a program...
