I spent half the day trying to figure out how to get php-fpm working
with apache and fastcgi for a virtual host, here is what I came up
with:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin sysadmin@example.com

DocumentRoot /home/webuser/domains/www.example.com/public_html/

FastCGIExternalServer /home/webuser/domains/www.example.com/
public_html/php-fpm -host 127.0.0.1:9000
AddType application/x-httpd-fastphp .php
Action application/x-httpd-fastphp /php-fpm

<Directory /home/racktables/>
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/webuser/domains/www.example.com/public_html/>
Options Indexes -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example_com_error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example_com_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

I am on ubuntu Lucid and got php-fpm by using this PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~brianmercer/+archive/php

ok I've hit a snag...

If I use what the Randy specified I'm able to browse http://site.com/
and index.php is used.
As soon as I add the follow mod_rewrite rules it all turns to shit

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

so I found this

FastCgiExternalServer /home/bob/public_html -host 127.0.0.1:9000
AddHandler php-fastcgi .php
Action php-fastcgi /virtualhtml
Alias /virtualhtml /home/bob/public_html

which works great with the mod_rewrite rules however when I go to
http://site.com/ i get "No input file specified." however going to
http://site.com/index.php works just fine.

any ideas on how to get the mod_rewrite rules to work with http://site.com/
so i don't need to use http://site.com/index.php ?

Thanks

actually done more testing and the config I found is bogus - every request
goes through php-fpm including static files...

so now I just need to figure out how to adapt the rewrite rules to be used
with fastcgi...

stuff it going back to nginx :)

turns out why I was trying to use apache was stupid anyway - apache is doing
the wrong thing and the developer of the php is basing work on a bug, thus
ensuring code only works with apache. fixed the code and it works on nginx.
nginx FTW

Nicholas,

just add a "Rewrite ^php-fpm - [L]" as your first rewrite rule and you are done.

If anyone is aware of a more elegant way, please shot ;).

cheers,
NIkolas

Great, thanks for sharing that NIkolas, will come in handy for the next
person :)

Server is setup for nginx I only installed apache cause this php code
wouldn't work properly, fixed the code so it works properly rather than
relying on bug in apache.

Searching Google for php-fpm apache fastcgi is not very helpful, so
hopefully now it will show up :)

Hi,

well, got a good coffee so i decided to play arround a little.

That way you do not need to exclude the fake handler from your rewrite
rules manually...:).

Globaly:
//We want to have all sockets within this directory
FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache2/fastcgi2

//Register a cumstom handler to .php .php5 scripts
AddHandler php-fastcgi .php .php5

//Point this handler to /php5/php-fpm
Action php-fastcgi /php5/php-fpm

//Set the register fastcgi-script handler + whatever you want for
every fpm request.
<Location /php5/php-fpm>
SetHandler fastcgi-script
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>

//Set mime type
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5


Per vhost:

//Alias /php5/ to /var/www/fcgi/www.example.com/ (should be in place
since this enables you to easily switch back to FastCgiServer)
ScriptAlias /php5/ /var/www/fcgi/www.example.com/

//Pickup request and forward it to the particular fpm socket.
FastCGIExternalServer /var/www/fcgi/www.example.com/php-fpm -socket
www.example.com


Cheers,
NIkolas

I just thought I'd chime in with a slightly different, but still
effective Apache configuration example:

Globally:
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>

# Directory where the PHP-FPM fastcgi sockets exist
FastCgiIpcDir /usr/local/var/run/fastcgi

# All files ending in .php will be handled by php-fpm
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler php5-fcgi
</FilesMatch>

# Fake directory that handles php-fpm requests.
# Directory can be anything, it should not exist and will
# not be visible to the end-user
# Each virtual host will alias this to a PHP-FPM socket
<Location "/fastcgiphp">
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All
# Prevent accessing this path directly
Allow from env=REDIRECT_STATUS
</Location>

# Direct all PHP requests to the /fastcgiphp fake directory
# Each virtual host will alias this to a PHP-FPM socket
Action php5-fcgi /fastcgiphp
</IfModule>


Per php-fpm socket (this may be per virtual host, per user, per server,
etc):
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
# Reference to external PHP-FPM socket
# The path (/usr/local/bin) must exist but the filename (bob-php-fpm)
# does not have to exist. The socket file (bob-php-fpm.sock) should
exist
# in the directory specified by the FastCgiIpcDir directive
(/usr/local/var/run/fastcgi)
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/local/bin/bob-php-fpm -socket bob-php-fpm.sock
</IfModule>

Per virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName ...
...
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
# Alias php requests to our PHP-FPM socket
Alias /fastcgiphp /usr/local/bin/bob-php-fpm
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

Hi Brandon,

Nice, thanks for sharing :).

Could you point out why, you used <FilesMatch \.php$> over AddHandler ?

Apache's AddHandler configuration directive is triggered if the filename
*contains* the extension rather than *ends with* the extension. So a file
mycode.php.html
will be parsed as a PHP file when AddHandler is used, but not when the
FilesMatch directive is used.

See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#multipleext


Of course, I cannot remember why this mattered to me ;)
