Thank you very much! This is the only tutorial I found in hours under the bunch of tutorials describing the process for fastfcgi instead of fpm, and therefore working with the directive

`
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php-fcgi -host 127.0.0.1:9001 -pass-header Authorization`

Instead with debian 10 and apache2.4 the approach to work with mod-proxy-fcgid, php-fpm and mod-event was the right way to get apache2.4 connected to php-fpm!

`ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/mysite/$1`
is the proper replacement for going from fastcgi to fpm in apache2.4
`FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php-fcgi -host 127.0.0.1:9001 -pass-header Authorization`
or
`ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*.php(/.*)?)$ unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/mysite`

A very comprehensive and forward tutorial, thanks again!

In reply to Viesturs Knopkens.

See the article at https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PHP-FPM which describes a way of doing this. It’s toward the bottom of the page under “Proxy via handler”.

Very detailed tutorial, thank you very much. But sometimes I get Internal Server Error 500, I don’t know what happened.

Amazing, I ran into a 503 error, and following the steps under 2 finally resolved my problem. Thank you!

I know, that maybe this is not 100% on topic, but is there a way to customize “PHP-FPM” error message “File not found.”? Basically I would like that PHP-FPM would display my “apache” 404 page, not text “File not found.” in case it couldn’t find requested PHP file.

Thanks! I get it working on Ubuntu 14.04 but in the apache error log i get a lot of ”

proxy_fcgi:error ” Error parsing script headers” does anyone know why? Run Drupal 6 and 7 if it matters.

This is a really useful guide, thanks a bunch!

Just a note, in your Apache “” config block, the reason why you need the new directive is because Apache 2.4 doesn’t use the old “Order allow,deny” style of access control. “Require all granted” is the functional equivalent of what you have on the first two lines, which can be safely deleted, since they’re being ignored anyway (unless you’re running mod_access_compat, in which case they’re redundant).

Also, to be (unnecessarily) nit-picky, explicitly including “FileInfo” in the AllowOverride directive isn’t necessary since you’re including “All”.

Sockets are now supported in Apache 2.4.9

ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*.php(/.*)?)$ unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/mysite

or if you’re using a chroot:

ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*.php(/.*)?)$ unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000

There seems to be a caveat that .htaccess files don’t work anymore.

I’ve followed this tutorial and I’m also having that issue.
