<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides support for the
<p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling the <code>FastCGI</code>
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> have to be present in the server.</p>
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> has no provision for starting the
application process; <code class="program"><a href="/programs/fcgistarter.html">fcgistarter</a></code> is provided
(on some platforms) for that purpose. Alternatively, external launching
or process management may be available in the FastCGI application
framework in use.</p>
<div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
<p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
large.</p>

<h2><a name="examples" id="examples">Examples</a></h2>
<p>Remember, in order to make the following examples work, you have to
enable <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code>.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Single application instance</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPass /myapp/ fcgi://localhost:4000/</pre>
</div>
<p>This application should be able to handle multiple concurrent
connections. <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> enables connection reuse by
default, so after a request has been completed the connection will be
held open by that httpd child process and won't be reused until that
httpd process routes another request to the application. If the
FastCGI application is unable to handle enough concurrent connections
from httpd, requests can block waiting for the application to close
an existing connection. One way to resolve this is to disable connection
reuse on the <code class="directive">ProxyPass</code> directive, as shown in
the following example:</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Single application instance, no connection reuse</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPass /myapp/ fcgi://localhost:4000/ disablereuse=on</pre>
</div>
<p> The following example passes the request URI as a filesystem
path for the PHP-FPM daemon to run. The request URL is implicitly added
to the 2nd parameter. The hostname and port following fcgi:// are where
PHP-FPM is listening.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>PHP-FPM</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPassMatch ^/myapp/.*\.php(/.*)?$ fcgi://localhost:9000/var/www/</pre>
</div>
<p> The following example passes the request URI as a filesystem
path for the PHP-FPM daemon to run. In this case, PHP-FPM is listening on
a unix domain socket (UDS). Requires 2.4.9 or later. With this syntax,
the hostname and optional port following fci:// are ignored.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>PHP-FPM with UDS</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ "unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/var/www/"</pre>
</div>
<p>The balanced gateway needs <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html">mod_proxy_balancer</a></code> and
at least one load balancer algorithm module, such as
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.html">mod_lbmethod_byrequests</a></code>, in addition to the proxy
modules listed above. <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.html">mod_lbmethod_byrequests</a></code> is the
default, and will be used for this example configuration.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Balanced gateway to multiple application instances</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPass /myapp/ balancer://myappcluster/
<Proxy balancer://myappcluster/>
BalancerMember fcgi://localhost:4000
BalancerMember fcgi://localhost:4001
</Proxy></pre>
</div>
<p>You can also force a request to be handled as a reverse-proxy
request, by creating a suitable Handler pass-through. The example
configuration below will pass all requests for PHP scripts to the
specified FastCGI server using reverse proxy.
This feature is available in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.10 and later. For performance
representing the same fcgi:// backend. The benefit of this form is that it
allows the normal mapping of URI to filename to occur in the server, and the
local filesystem result is passed to the backend.
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Proxy via Handler</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><FilesMatch \.php$>
</FilesMatch></pre>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="env" id="env">Environment Variables</a></h2>
<p>In addition to the configuration directives that control the
behaviour of <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>, there are a number of
<dfn>environment variables</dfn> that control the FCGI protocol
provider:</p>
<dl>
<dt>proxy-fcgi-pathinfo</dt>
<dd>By default <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> will neither create
nor export the <var>PATH_INFO</var> environment variable. This allows
the backend FCGI server to correctly determine <var>SCRIPT_NAME</var>
and <var>Script-URI</var> and be compliant with RFC 3875 section 3.3.
If instead you need <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> to generate
a "best guess" for <var>PATH_INFO</var>, set this env-var.
This is a workaround for a bug in some FCGI implementations.</dd>
