geerlingguy.apache-php-fpm

Ansible Role: Apache PHP-FPM

This Ansible Role sets up Apache to work with PHP-FPM on RHEL/CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu systems.

Requirements

To use this role, you need the geerlingguy.apache role and have PHP-FPM installed and running on your server (I typically use the geerlingguy.php role to set up PHP).

When setting up your Apache virtual hosts, include this line to connect to PHP-FPM:

# For TCP port:
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ "fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/example"

# For Unix socket:
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ "unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/var/www/example"

For a complete example using the geerlingguy.apache role, check the Example Playbook section below.

RedHat 6 and 7

On RedHat/CentOS 7, the mod_proxy_fcgi module is installed and enabled by default.

For RedHat/CentOS 6, which uses Apache 2.2, getting FastCGI to work can be more challenging. Here are two guides if you need help:
