Apache 2.4 with php5-fpm

Posted on April 24, 2014

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.

Thanks for this. Worked like a charm for my very first attempt.

You may also need to switch from the apache MPM non-threaded module mpm_prefork to a threaded one.

a2dismod mpm_prefork

then

a2enmod mpm_worker or a2enmod mpm_event

If it’s not installed:

apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker or apt-get install apache2-mpm-event

@richard-mckenna was right! Must first disable mod_php before use these settings… damn, it took me hours until find this comment to save me from lost more time.
