I’ve spent so many hours trying to make the following setup: Apache v2.4 php-fpm to work, but without any success. I am using fully updated Ubuntu Server 14.04 TLS.
Most of the tutorials online are for nginx with php-fpm or Apache 2.2, but I know things have changed.

Assuming that you’re starting with a basic LAMP stack, first you need to install the needed packages: <br> <br><pre> <br>sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi php5-fpm <br></pre> <br> <br>Then create the file “/etc/apache2/conf-available/php5-fpm.conf” with the contents: <br> <br><pre> <br><IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> <br> AddHandler php5-fcgi .php <br> Action php5-fcgi /php5-fcgi <br> Alias /php5-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi <br> FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi -socket /var/run/php5-fpm.sock -pass-header Authorization <br></IfModule> <br></pre> <br> <br>Then enable the new mods and config: <br> <br><pre> <br>a2enmod actions fastcgi alias <br>a2enconf php5-fpm <br>service apache2 reload <br></pre> <br> <br>You should be up and running. To verify, create a file called “/var/www/html/info.php” with the contents: <br> <br><pre> <br><?php <br>phpinfo(); <br>?> <br></pre> <br> <br>Now you should be able to browse to http://your.ipaddress.com/info.php <br> <br>You should see a lot of information about your php set up including: "Server API FPM/FastCGI "

apt-get install apache2-mpm-workerorapt-get install apache2-mpm-eventGlad you got it working! I fixed up the tags. <br> <br> <br>For anyone else, here’s Ivan’s addition to php5-fpm.conf with the formatting fixed: <br> <br><pre> <br><Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin> <br> Require all granted <br></Directory> <br></pre> <br> <br>
