Hello,

i have installed Apache from ports and try since 2 days a config with fastcgi / php. But the Apache like not the PHP over CGI.

I have read something from in other forum which say all should use spawn-fcgi. So im not sure it's correct what i do, here my config:

Code: 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22/httpd.conf
LoadModule fastcgi_module libexec/apache22/mod_fastcgi.so

Code: 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22/extra/vhost.conf
ServerAdmin siefke@email.de
SuexecUserGroup silviosiefke silviosiefke

CustomLog "/usr/local/www/silviosiefke/logs/access.log" common
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/www/silviosiefke/cgi-bin/"
AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/local/www/silvio_backup -host 127.0.0.1:9000

In your error log it seems to just show you doing a shutdown at 13.32 and then a start at 14.22. What is the error you are seeing?

thanks Andy.
 
Why you need FCGI for PHP ? Its already working under mod_php which give is almost same speed...
Anyway if you are going to move PHP to FCGI better use different server (lighthttpd/nginx). Cus you will get no benefit using apache (he will fork() anyway).
 
Hello,


So I have found the problems.

First the step for install the system when apache and php (compiled with cgi) is on system:

Code: 
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_fastcgi && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/www/spawn_fcgi && make install clean

Activate in httpd.conf:
LoadModule fastcgi_module libexec/apache22/mod_fastcgi.so
AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/local/www/apache22/data -host localhost:9000

echo 'spawn_fcgi_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service spawn-fcgi start
service apache22 start

The mistake by me was, that in default "short_open_tag" is off. Set it on or write the code with <?php phpinfo(); ?>.

Why not php-fpm?

Alt, myself I use php-fpm (or spawn_fcgi) because I can't use suexec with mod_php. It's important because we have many users and websites.
 
Hello,

Sorry for my question, can you explain what you mean with php-fpm? Haven't heard of it before.

Hey,

@nORKy

I have looked now at the website. Its sounds well. Do you use php-fpm? For example, with fastcgi and PHP 5.3.3 I have problems with DirectoryListings. It gives two ways to fix the problem.

1.) use Rewrite Engine
Code: 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L,QSA]

2.) Use AliasFakes
Code: 
AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php
Action php5-fastcgi /fake-handler
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/local/www/data/fake-handler -host 127.0.0.1:9000
Alias /fake-handler /usr/local/www/data

The last make problems when you use RewriteRules then, you have error 503.

So what I read is intresting, but the install, it's only a patch? How must I use it with PHP Port, and the configuration?

Can you explain?

Hello,

For me it is not solved, I changed the webserver, I use nginx and with it it runs without any problems.

So why did you change it as "solved" then when clearly it's not. I'm thinking of switchinG to nginx too, but not by choice just because I can't get apache to work with fastcgi properly.
 
Hello,

I have not changed to solved. I have tried many Howtos and nothing really was correct. So I switched to nginx and fixed it for me. I follow the dialogs in net for apache but at the moment nothing really runs correctly.

That sucks. I'm thinking about switching to nginx as well, that's something I have very little experience with and it's nothing like Apache.
