Edit your php.ini to point to your new PHP's extension directory (printed as part of make install above):extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-20090626/"
Make certain your /etc/php.d directory is only loading extensions that have been built against your new php. I only load mysql and apc
Now you need to tell Apache to use php-fpm via mod_fastcgi.
# wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-current.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf mod_fastcgi-current.tar.gz
# cd mod_fastcgi-2.4.6/
# cp Makefile.AP2 Makefile
Compile and install mod_fastcgi for 32 bit system, enter:
# make top_dir=/usr/lib/httpd
# make install top_dir=/usr/lib/httpd
Compile and install mod_fastcgi for 64 bit system, enter:
# make top_dir=/usr/lib64/httpd
# make install top_dir=/usr/lib64/httpd
Sample output:make install top_dir=/usr/lib64/httpdmake[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/mod_fastcgi-2.4.6'/usr/lib64/apr-1/build/libtool --silent --mode=install cp mod_fastcgi.la /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/mod_fastcgi-2.4.6'
Edit your Apache config to configure mod_fastcgi:# mods-enabled/fastcgi.conf<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>FastCGIExternalServer /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm -socket /tmp/php-fpm.sockAddHandler php-fastcgi .phpAction php-fastcgi /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm.fcgiScriptAlias /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm.fcgi /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm<Directory /usr/local/sbin>Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinksSetHandler fastcgi-scriptOrder allow,denyAllow from all</Directory></IfModule>
Now edit your /usr/local/etc/php-fpm config file using settings like these:[www]# socketlisten = /tmp/php-fpm.socklisten.owner = apachelisten.group = apachelisten.mode = 0666# user ID/GIDuser = apachegroup = apache
Finally, configure an autostart script for your php-fpm daemon using these instructions.
