I am trying to setup PHP-FPM on my Ubuntu 12.10 server, but I just cannot seem to get the scripts to execute. I am following instructions as per this tutorial.

I have placed this in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and restarted Apache via sudo service apache2 restart to no avail.

<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> AddHandler php5-fcgi .php Action php5-fcgi /php5-fcgi Alias /php5-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi -socket /var/run/php5-fpm.sock -pass-header Authorization </IfModule>

As I’ve read, PHP-FPM is more commonly used with NGINX, but I would love any help in getting this up and running on my LAMP setup!

An autofill changed the title of this post and I can’t seem to edit it. The original title was: ‘Installing PHP-FPM with Apache2 on Ubuntu 12.10’

Hi, I’ve tried following this, but I keep getting the error: <br> <br>(111)Connection refused: FastCGI: failed to connect to server “/usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi”: connect() failed <br> <br>Even though my apache2.conf (also tried in a vhost or default conf in sites-available) contains <br> <br>Alias /php5.fastcgi /var/www/fastcgi/php5.fastcgi <br>FastCGIExternalServer /var/www/fastcgi/php5.fastcgi -socket /var/run/php-fpm.sock <br> <br>Not quite sure what I’m doing wrong at this point? I’ve also seen different discussion about running socket vs over IP (127.0.0.1) between Apache 2.4 and 2.2?
