You can install the fastcgi mod and apache2 from here, verified that it works on my end. https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/apache2?field.series_filter=precise

Problem

I'm trying to set a test enviroment with apache 2.4 and php 5.5 on a vm with ubuntu 12.04, fist thing is to add the repositories ``` apt-add-repository ppa:ptn107/apache apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php5 ``` Then installing apache 2.4 ``` apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker ``` checking apache version: ``` # apache2 -v Server version: Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu) Server built: Sep 23 2013 07:23:34 ``` Installing PHP 5.5 ``` apt-get install php5-common php5-mysqlnd php5-xmlrpc php5-curl php5-gd php5-cli php5-fpm php-pear php5-dev php5-imap php5-mcrypt ``` Checking php version ``` php -v PHP 5.5.8-3+sury.org~precise+1 (cli) (built: Jan 24 2014 10:15:11) Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.3-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2013, by Zend Technologies ``` So everyting seems ok the thing is I need mod_fastcgi but can't be installed: ``` apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you haverequested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libapache2-mod-fastcgi : Depends: apache2.2-common (>= 2.2.4) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. ``` So if mod_fastcgi can't be enabled how can I run php files with php-fpm ? Is there something I'm missing ?
