This document explains how to convert an Apache2+php server to Apache2+php-fpm. We’re staring from a system with Apache already installed and PHP working.
Install the additional software:
wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm yum install mod_fastcgi php-fpm
This directory needs to exist:
mkdir /usr/lib/cgi-bin
Configure Apache/Httpd.
Here is a sample virtual server within the “/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf” file:
<VirtualHost *:80> #FastCGIExternalServer /var/www/html/cgi-bin/php5.fcgi -host 127.0.0.1:9000 ServerAdmin support@agix.local DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress ServerName example.agix.local ErrorLog logs/wordpress-error_log CustomLog logs/wordpress-access_log common </VirtualHost>
Here is a sample “/etc/httpd/conf.d/php-fpm.conf” file:
Action fcgi-php-fpm /fcgi-php-fpm virtual Alias /fcgi-php-fpm /fcgi-php-fpm FastCgiExternalServer /fcgi-php-fpm -socket /var/run/php-fpm/web.socket -pass-header Authorization -idle-timeout 180
Here is a sample “/etc/httpd/conf.d/fastcgi.conf ” file:
User apache Group apache LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so FastCgiIpcDir /var/run/mod_fastcgi FastCgiWrapper Off FastCgiConfig -idle-timeout 20 -maxClassProcesses 1 <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.cgi index.php AddHandler php5-fcgi .php Action php5-fcgi /php5-fcgi Alias /php5-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi -host 127.0.0.1:9000 -pass-header Authorization </IfModule>
Here is a sample “/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf” file:
<IfModule prefork.c> </IfModule> <IfModule worker.c> </IfModule> DirectoryIndex index.php
You should be able to test and confirm it’s working. Restart services first though.
service php-fpm restart service httpd restart chkconfig httpd on chkconfig php-fpm on
