I'm still trying to figure out what is actually happening here and I have a result that is truly confusing now. I decided to just route everything to php-fpm, mainly to check that it is actually active, and I used a file that would have been routed there by ProxyPass/ProxyPassMatch anyhow, so I would have expected php-fpm to run and give me an html page as output. Here's what happened: I set the ProxyPass directive to: ProxyPass / "fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000" enablereuse=on and got the response: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. Reason: DNS lookup failure for: 127.0.0.1:9000testfcgi.php So, we know two things (I thought) - first that php-fpm is actually working, and second that we need a / after the socket number to separate the php file name. This should have gone to the root directory given in the php-fpm configuration, ( chdir=/httpd/iliffe ) not to the DNS, right? So, I changed the ProxyPass directive ProxyPass / "fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/" enablereuse=on and I get: File not found. With the Loglevel set to debug in Apache and all incoming requests being proxied to php-fpm, I get: No input file specified. from the browser with a log entry of [Thu Apr 13 13:04:36.552776 2017] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 22944:tid 139858336442112] [client 192.168.1.10:48876] AH01071: Got error 'Unable to open primary script: /httpd/iliffe/testfcgi.php (No such file or directory)\n' I didn't paste all the other entries as they are irrelevant to this situation. BUT: [root@prod04 John]# ls -al /proc/22943/root/httpd/iliffe/test* -rw-rw-r--. 1 John John 5740 Apr 12 16:40 /proc/22943/root/httpd/iliffe/testfcgi.php So httpd's path includes the php file that I called. So, tried php-fpm to see if it couldn't find the proper path: [root@prod04 John]# ps -ef | grep php root 22100 1 0 12:16 ? 00:00:00 php-fpm: master process (/usr/php-7.1.3/etc/php-fpm.conf) phpfpm 22101 22100 0 12:16 ? 00:00:00 php-fpm: pool www phpfpm 22102 22100 0 12:16 ? 00:00:00 php-fpm: pool www [root@prod04 John]# ls -al /proc/22100/root/httpd/iliffe/test* -rw-rw-r--. 1 John John 5740 Apr 12 16:40 /proc/22100/root/httpd/iliffe/testfcgi.php So php-fpm can also see the php file. I have no idea why either php-fpm or httpd, whichever is throwing the error, can't find the file. It seems that this problem is fairly common, for example: https://serverfault.com/questions/450628/apache-2-4-php-fpm-proxypassmatch But this is from 2013, and they resolved it with rewrite rules. With all the web sites on the Internet using Apache I'm sure that there is a current solution that actually works! Has anyone got any ideas?
