Apache 2.4 with PHP-FPM .htaccess redirection

.htaccessapache-2.4mod-rewritephp-fpmphp5

I have Apache 2.4 set up with PHP-FPM on a server. To pass from Apache to PHP-FPM I use the following:

ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9001/hosting_files/site.com/admin_secure/$1

"admin_secure" is the DocumentRoot in the vhost.

In that directory, I have a .htaccess file that contains the following:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule    ^$    webroot/    [L]
    RewriteRule    (.*) webroot/$1    [L]
 </IfModule>

The site works, right up until I try to access something that should be in the webroot directory. For example, if I go to vendors/kcfinder/browse.php which is inside the webroot directory, I get a "File not found" error. If I go to webroot/vendors/kcfinder/browse.php, it works.

I've turned on rewrite and proxy logging, and it looks like the rewrite never takes place. It just sends whatever I type in the URL (if it's a PHP file).

Is there a way to write my ProxyPassMatch statement to take in rewrites like that?

Your problem is that the .htaccess file is never read. .htaccess is only read after apache has determined that it needs to look for the resource requested on its local filesystem. You are however telling apache to forward the request to another process...

You will need to add the rewrites to your main config.

I found this solution, I don't know if is the best way, but works for me.

Remove the line:

ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.2:9126/<path>/$1

Add this in your directive:

<Directory /var/www/yoursiste.com>
    Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -ExecCGI +MultiViews

    AllowOverride All

    <IfModule mod_proxy_fcgi.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteBase /
        RewriteOptions InheritBefore
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
        RewriteRule ^([^\.]+\.php)$ fcgi://127.0.0.2:9126/var/www/yoursite.com/$1 [L,P]
    </IfModule>

    Order allow,deny
    allow from all

    <IfVersion >= 2.4>
        Require all granted
    </IfVersion>
</Directory>

All the real php files will redirect to fcgi proxy.

And the "RewriteOptions InheritBefore" This forces the current configuration to inherit the configuration of the parent, but are applied before rules specified in the child scope (.htaccess at the directory). Is the only way I found to has compatibility between the fcgi config and the client .htaccess config.

To control other parameters you could need for the proxy:

<IfModule mod_proxy_fcgi.c>
    <Proxy fcgi://127.0.0.2:9126>
        ProxySet timeout=1800 disablereuse=on
    </Proxy>
</IfModule>

Apache 2.4 + PHP-FPM + ProxyPassMatch

After hours of searching and reading Apache documentation I've come up with a solution that allows to use the pool, and also allow the Rewrite directive in .htaccess to work even when the url contains .php files.

<VirtualHost ...>

 ...

 # This is to forward all PHP to php-fpm.
 <FilesMatch \.php$>
   SetHandler "proxy:unix:/path/to/socket.sock|fcgi://unique-domain-name-string/"
 </FilesMatch>

 # Set some proxy properties (the string "unique-domain-name-string" should match
 # the one set in the FilesMatch directive.
 <Proxy fcgi://unique-domain-name-string>
   ProxySet connectiontimeout=5 timeout=240
 </Proxy>

 # If the php file doesn't exist, disable the proxy handler.
 # This will allow .htaccess rewrite rules to work and 
 # the client will see the default 404 page of Apache
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.php$
 RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
 RewriteRule (.*) - [H=text/html]

</VirtualHost>

As per Apache documentation, the SetHandler proxy parameter requires Apache HTTP Server 2.4.10.

I hope that this solution will help you too.
