Ok, before we start I should mention what I’m using:
- Apache 2.2.11
- PHP 5.2.9 (compiled with –enable-fastcgi)
- mod_fastcgi
How to compile PHP as an FastCGI server is left as an exercise to the reader. Actually, mostz of the times it’s really as simple as adding
--enable-fastcgi
to the configure command and making sure that
--enable-discard-path
is not on the list of your configure options.
Compiling
mod_fastcgi
is straight forward and well documented, so it’s also not covered here.
Obviously you shouldn’t try the dollowing examples on a production machine. Ok, having all the mumbo-jumbo out of the way now, let’s begin.

Great article, but how did you solve the problem with the trailing index.php?
If I call the domain, the php file are provided as a download.
If I add index.php, I get redirected to /virtualpath/index.php/ which results in a 404. Everything else works like a charm…
Can’t really say what the problem with your setup is. Either it’s a missing “DirectoryIndex index.php” statement in the htpd.conf file or your settings for calling the FCGI process are a bit borked. If you could post the settings for your vhost, maybe I could help more then.
