[SOLVED] PHP-FPM not working as PHP handler in Apache Maybe someone here can help I'm trying to switch global PHP handler on my server from mod_php to PHP-FPM. But something with my setup is worng. When I'm trying to open server.com/info.php, it's being opened as standard text showing contents of file, not parsed via php: Code: <?php phpinfo(); ?> Httpd and php-fpm logs showing nothing. httpd -M - shows mod_fastcgi loaded. System:CentOS 6.4 x64, Apache 2.2.15. PHP-5.5.3 compiled from source with such configuration: Code: ./configure \ --prefix=/opt/php553-fpm \ --with-config-file-path=/opt/php553-fpm/etc \ --with-config-file-scan-dir=/opt/php553-fpm/etc/php.d \ --with-pdo-pgsql \ --with-zlib-dir \ --with-freetype-dir \ --enable-bcmath \ --enable-mbstring \ --with-libxml-dir=/usr \ --enable-soap \ --enable-calendar \ --with-curl \ --with-mcrypt \ --with-zlib \ --with-gd \ --with-pgsql \ --disable-rpath \ --enable-inline-optimization \ --with-bz2 \ --with-zlib \ --enable-sockets \ --enable-sysvsem \ --enable-sysvshm \ --enable-pcntl \ --enable-mbregex \ --with-mhash \ --enable-zip \ --with-pcre-regex \ --with-mysql \ --with-pdo-mysql \ --with-mysqli \ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr \ --with-png-dir=/usr \ --enable-gd-native-ttf \ --with-openssl \ --with-libdir=lib64 \ --enable-ftp \ --with-imap \ --with-imap-ssl \ --with-kerberos \ --with-gettext \ --enable-fpm \ --with-fpm-user=apache \ --with-fpm-group=apache php-fpm process starting normally via init.d/php-fpm, and ready to listen connections on 127.0.0.1:9000. netstat approves this info. mod_fastcgi - installed via yum my httpd/fpm.conf: Code: <IfModule mod_fastcgi.so> <FilesMatch \.php$> SetHandler php-script </FilesMatch> # AddHandler php-script .php Action php-script /php.external Alias /php.external /var/run/mod_fastcgi/php.fpm FastCGIExternalServer /var/run/mod_fastcgi/php.fpm -host 127.0.0.1:9000 AddType application/x-httpd-fastphp5 .php DirectoryIndex index.php <Directory "/var/run/mod_fastcgi/"> Order deny,allow Deny from all <Files "php.fpm"> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Files> </Directory> </IfModule> fastcgi.conf Code: User apache Group apache LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so # dir for IPC socket files FastCgiIpcDir /var/run/mod_fastcgi # wrap all fastcgi script calls in suexec FastCgiWrapper On # global FastCgiConfig can be overridden by FastCgiServer options in vhost config FastCgiConfig -idle-timeout 20 -maxClassProcesses 1 php-fpm.conf and default pool 'www' confs are exactly same as everywhere on internet described in many-many tutorials which not helping me this time (. Only user and group in www.conf are "apache" - inserted during PHP compilation from source. Second question: PHP-FPM setup works only with files in document root? Right now document root for me is /var/www/html. But several sites like zabbix, phpmyadmin reside in "/home/vhosts" and they are subdirectories and not virtualhosts. I see error when I try aceess server.com/pma: Code: Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/vhosts/pma/ Before I had mod_php compiled from same sources and everything worked. Right now it's still registered in system path, but loading of mod_php in httpd is disabled. So maybe someone can help me configure PHP-FPM as global php handler for system without virtual hosts. SOLUTION I had <IfModule mod_fastcgi.so> And it should be <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> Also httpd configuration needs: SuexecUserGroup apache apache My fpm.conf for httpd, Tested on Apache 2.2: Code: <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> <FilesMatch \.php$> SetHandler php-script </FilesMatch> SuexecUserGroup apache apache Action php-script /php.external Alias /php.external /var/run/mod_fastcgi/php.fpm FastCGIExternalServer /var/run/mod_fastcgi/php.fpm -host 127.0.0.1:9000 -idle-timeout 900 -pass-header Authorization AddType application/x-httpd-fastphp5 .php DirectoryIndex index.php index.shtml index.cgi index.html index.htm Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI +Includes +MultiViews <Directory "/var/run/mod_fastcgi/"> Order deny,allow Deny from all <Files "php.fpm"> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Files> </Directory> </IfModule> This configuration sets PHP-FPM as global php handler for whole server. You can use above code for separate virtualhosts changing FPM pools and/or SuExec arguments.
