Step 3. Configure PHP-FPM
Once the EasyApache build is successfully completed proceed with the following configurations
1. Add php-fpm to init.d scripts
cd /home/cpeasyapache/src/php-5.4.x/sapi/fpm/ cp init.d.php-fpm.in /etc/init.d/php-fpm chmod 755 /etc/init.d/php-fpm
2. Configure /etc/init.d/php-fpm
vi /etc/init.d/php-fpm
then, change the foloowing option in php-fpm
prefix= exec_prefix= php_fpm_BIN=/usr/local/sbin/php-fpm php_fpm_CONF=/usr/etc/php-fpm.conf php_fpm_PID=/var/run/php-fpm.pid
3. PHP-FPM configuration file
cd /home/cpeasyapache/src/php-5.4.x/sapi/fpm/ cp php-fpm.conf.in /usr/etc/php-fpm.conf vi /usr/etc/php-fpm.conf
then, change the following options in php-fpm.conf file
user = nobody group = nobody

LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
FastCGIExternalServer /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm -host 127.0.0.1:9000
AddHandler php-fastcgi .php
#<LocationMatch "/status">
# SetHandler php-fastcgi-virt
# Action php-fastcgi-virt /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm.fcgi virtual
#</LocationMatch>
Action php-fastcgi /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm.fcgi
ScriptAlias /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm.fcgi /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm
<Directory /usr/local/sbin>
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
SetHandler fastcgi-script
Order allow,deny

</Directory>
</IfModule>
Step 5. Install mod_fastcgi
cd /tmp/ wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-2.4.6.tar.gz tar -xzf mod_fastcgi-2.4.6.tar.gz cd mod_fastcgi-2.4.6 cp Makefile.AP2 Makefile vi Makefile
