There are 4 different ways to use php with apache
* cgi
* fcgi
* mod_php
* php-fpm
Here is a comparison why [http://php-fpm.org/about fpm] is the better way. In short it works with apache event mpm, has better security, can have per vhost pool configuration, better process management, ....
When used with apache event mpm, it's the most memory efficient setup that you can achieve with apache + php. Whether it's better than nginx + php-fpm depends on your setup, contents and preference.

PHP-FPM is the Fast Process Manager for PHP which runs as a service that spawns PHP processes as needed when files files are requested through the FastCGI interface. Passing this off to the PHP-FPM results in interpreting the PHP files much faster than having Apache spawn new processes each time a page is requested.

This material is proposed for merging ...

It should be merged with Apache. Everything in one place seems logical (Discuss)

PHP-FPM is the Fast Process Manager for PHP which runs as a service that spawns PHP processes as needed when files files are requested through the FastCGI interface. Passing this off to the PHP-FPM results in interpreting the PHP files much faster than having Apache spawn new processes each time a page is requested. You can read more about it here.

Instructions

Installation

Install required packages

# apk add apache2-proxy php8-fpm

Run and add services to startup

# rc-service php-fpm8 start # rc-update add php-fpm8 # rc-service apache2 start # rc-update add apache2


Configure

Configure Apache

Uncomment the mpm_event module and comment the mpm_prefork module like so:

 LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
 #LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:

<FilesMatch \.php$>
    SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000"
</FilesMatch>

Comment out the following lines in /etc/apache2/conf.d/php8-module.conf:

 #LoadModule php_module modules/mod_php8.so
 
 #DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
 
 #<FilesMatch \.php$>
 #    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
 #</FilesMatch>


Configure PHP-FPM

Edit the file /etc/php8/php-fpm.conf to suit your needs.

In the configuration you may need to change the default user and group from nobody to another user such as apache:

user = apache
group = apache

Restart apache2 and PHP-FPM after editing the configuration:

# rc-service php-fpm8 reload && rc-service apache2 reload
