Re: configure apache2 on ubuntu 16.04 vps to use php-fpm is not leading to the desired outcome (Apache Users)

Hi Dino,

2017-07-23 1:32 GMT+02:00 Dino Vliet <dino_vliet@xxxxxxxxx.invalid>:

Modified this file:

/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf to now have this inside:

<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 -socket /var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock -pass-header Authorization

</IfModule>

In here it seems that you are using mod_fastcgi (configured to not manage FCGI processes afaict)

Also modified this file /etc/apache2/conf-available and now it contains

# Redirect to local php-fpm if mod_php is not available

<IfModule !mod_php7.c>

# Enable http authorization headers

SetEnvIfNoCase ^Authorization$ "(.+)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1

<FilesMatch ".+\.ph(p[3457]?|t|tml)$">

SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost"

</FilesMatch>

And in here mod_proxy_fcgi? Are you sure that this is what you wanted to achieve?

However, when I look at the output of the info.php page I have created in the document root I see Server API --> Apache 2.0 Handler in stead of what I expected after fiddling with the configuration. I expected Server API --> FPM/FastCGI

What have I missed and what should I do to have apache2 run with FastCGI?

I'd suggest to follow https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html and https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/php to gather more info :)

Hope that helps!
