Web does not use php-fpm and fails back to standard php-cgi instead

I'm trying to get php-fpm working with the "Additional php versions" feature running, according to http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-us...and-fastcgi-with-ispconfig-3-ubuntu-12.04-lts
Using a new Fast-CGI version is working fine, but when using FPM it's defaulting back to the standard PHP (cgi, not fpm) version on the server.

ISPconfig is latest 3.0.5.4p1 on
Debian 6 (squeeze) and
PHP 5.3.28-1~dotdeb.0

The compliled php-fpm version is 5.4.30

The according vhost file shows:
.......
Action php5-fcgi /php5-fcgi
Alias /php5-fcgi /var/www/clients/client1/web1184/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi-*-443-domain.de
FastCgiExternalServer /var/www/clients/client1/web1184/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi-*-443-domain.de -idle-timeout 300 -host 127.0.0.1:10193 -pass-header Authorization
....

...and in the pool.d directory a file is being created with:
[web1184]
listen = 127.0.0.1:10193
listen.allowed_clients = 127.0.0.1
user = web1184
group = client1
.....
...and the fpm is running fine (netstat...). Restarting apache after the change won't have any effect either.
Also, changing to sockets won't have any effect.

I edited the ports in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf/vhost.conf.master as follows, to change the standard ports:

<tmpl_if name='ssl_enabled'>
<VirtualHost {tmpl_var name='ip_address'}:443>
<tmpl_else>
<VirtualHost {tmpl_var name='ip_address'}:88>
</tmpl_if>



Thanks in advance,
Regards Kai

 

Solved

Hi Till,
that it is! We didn't install and activate mod_fastcgi Apache module. We thought, we already had it installed - but instead we just had the mod_fcgid.

Thank you a lot!
