Hello, My name is Cuong, I'm a Magento Developer. Welcome back to my tutorial videos.

Today, I am going to show everybody the best practice on Ubuntu, How to configure apache2 to use php-fpm on Ubuntu.

What is the PHP-FPM and why should we use it?

PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative to FastCGI. It is developed to help PHP-based websites run faster. It's designed to speed up PHP processors and scripts. If you're running a PHP-based website or CMS platforms, like Magento, WordPress, Joomla or others, you should install and enable PHP-FPM to speed your website up.

In this video, I assume I had apache2, php7.1 on my localhost, then I only show everybody the basic steps to configure apache2 to use php-fpm on Ubuntu 16.04.

Try to run this command lines on your server.
- cat /etc/*release, I have Ubuntu 16.04 on my localhost.
- apache2 -v, I installed apache 2.4.18 on my localhost.
- php -v, I installed php 7.1.26 on my localhost.

Let's complete this practice, you need to follow steps by step:

Step 1: Installing and enabling the necessary extensions and modules
- Run the following command lines:
1. Install the FastCGI module: apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi
2. Install the php-fpm extention: apt-get install php7.1-fpm
Because I installed php7.1 on my localhost so I must install php7.1-fpm
- If you are using php7.0, you must install the extension php7.0-fpm, you can search for php-fpm version on your server by running the command line: apt-cache search php
- a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
- a2enconf php7.1-fpm
- service php7.1-fpm start
- service apache2 restart
memory_limit = 256M
upload_max_filesize = 100M
max_execution_time = 360

Step 2: Configure Apache2 Default Site to use PHP-FPM
- Disable mod_php: a2dismod php7.1
In the settings, we checked if the module php disabled, then using proxy_fcgi module. So we need to disable the php module
- Restart Apache2:
apache2ctl configtest
service apache2 restart

Step 3: Test and see the results

Yeah! it works perfectly. It is easy to configure Apache2 to use php-fpm on Ubuntu.
