Apache with php-fpm: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:40, 26 July 2023

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

-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.
