Apache 2.2 – How to Get mod_proxy_fcgi on CentOS/Red Hat 6

apache-2.2centos6mod-proxy-fcgiredhat

I am trying to get Apache 2.2 + php-fpm to work on CentOS 6.5 (and Red Hat later). I want to use mod_proxy_fcgi to do this, but I can't find a proper way to get it.

I tried looking for repository including it, but I only found it packaged with Apache 2.4.

Is there an easy way to install and maintain it ? Is the only solution to compile it ?

Also, if I have no other choice, what's the best way to get Apache 2.4 for CentOS 6 ?

mod_proxy_fcgi needs Apache 2.3 and later, which is why you get it packaged with Apache 2.4 and not with 2.2.
