After all, Apache already has mod_php. -However, there are advantages to running PHP with FastCGI. Separating the -PHP code from the web server removes 'bloat' from the main server, and should -improve the performance of non-PHP requests. Secondly, having one permanent -PHP process as opposed to one per apache process means that shared resources -like persistent database connections are used more efficiently. - -First of all, make sure that the FastCGI module is enabled. You should have -a line in your config like: - - LoadModule fastcgi_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_fastcgi.so - -Don't load mod_php, by the way. Make sure it is commented out! - - #LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so - -Now, we'll create a fcgi-bin directory, just like you would do with normal -CGI scripts. You'll need to create a directory somewhere to store your -FastCGI binaries. We'll use /space/fcgi-bin/ for this example. Remember to -copy the FastCGI-PHP binary in there. (named just 'php') - - ScriptAlias /fcgi-bin/ /space/fcgi-bin/ - <Location /fcgi-bin/> - SetHandler fastcgi-script - </Location> - -Next, we need to tell Apache to use the FastCGI binary /fcgi-bin/php to -deliver PHP pages. All that is needed is: - - AddType application/x-httpd-php .php - Action application/x-httpd-php /fcgi-bin/php - -Now, if you restart Apache, php pages should now be delivered! - - -Running PHP-FastCGI separately from the webserver -------------------------------------------------- - -(Read README.FastCGI for why you might want to do this). -Easy! Add one more configuration line: - - FastCgiExternalServer /space/fcgi-bin/php -host localhost:8002 - -Then, start the PHP off with the following command: - - /space/fcgi-bin/php 8002 - -The number 8002 is the port that PHP will listen on for requests - change this -to anything suitable. And be sure to firewall it out so that external -connections are denied! |
