apache2.4 + php-fpm + phpmyadmin in debian

apache2.4, debian, php, phpmyadmin

Solution

I was struggling with this exact same issue and I could not get phpmyadmin to work. I was still getting the "File not found" mentioned above. My issue was I had to put mine in my ProxyPassMatch inside of my 000-default.conf file inside of my ./sites-available folder and I had to put these entries BEFORE my default one. This was outline at the very bottom of this page where I found the solution: http://jordanconway.com/set-up-apache-2-4-with-php-fpm-on-ubuntu-13-10/

Here is the way I have mine setup for reference.

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ...
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
   ...
    ProxyPassMatch ^/phpmyadmin/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/usr/share/phpmyadmin/$1
    ProxyPassMatch ^/phpmyadmin/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/usr/share/phpmyadmin$1index.php
    ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/$1
</VirtualHost>

Problem

I have this setup in a debian: apache 2.4 proxy_fcgi and php-fpm (v5.5). In my virtualhost file i have: ``` <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/html ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock|fcgi://./var/www/html CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log </VirtualHost> ``` and everything works fine, i can see phpinfo() and every php file i request under /var/www/html/. I continue with the phpmyadmin installation from the debian repo but when i browse to http://MY.IP/phpmyadmin i get a "File not found" error and in the apache error log ``` "[proxy_fcgi:error] AH01071: Got error 'Primary script unknown\n'" ``` Debian phpmyadmin package dumps the contents into /usr/share/phpmyadmin. If i create a test.html file under /usr/share/phpmyadmin i can see its contents from http://MY.IP/phpmyadmin/test.html The problem is that php files under /usr/share/phpmyadmin are not being processed. The phpmyadmin apache configuration is this: ``` # phpMyAdmin default Apache configuration Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin> Options FollowSymLinks DirectoryIndex index.php <IfModule mod_php5.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php <FilesMatch ".+\.php$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch> php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off php_flag track_vars On php_flag register_globals Off php_admin_flag allow_url_fopen Off php_value include_path . php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/php/php-gettext/:/usr/share/javascript/:/usr/share/php/tcpdf/ </IfModule> </Directory> ... ``` and is loaded in apache configuration file. Since there is no mod_php installed there is no processing for the php files. How can i tell apache to use proxy_fcgi to process php files under /usr/share/phpmyadmin directory ? >>update<< I added a proxypassmatch directive in phpmyadmin apache's conf ``` ProxyPassMatch ^/phpmyadmin/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock|fcgi:///usr/share/phpmyadmin/ ``` expecting to work but i keep getting the same error. >>update 2<< I replaced the php-fpm unix socket with network (127.1:9000) and replaced the virthualhost file's ProxyPassmatch with: ``` ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/$1 ``` and in phpmyadmin's apache conf: ``` ProxyPassMatch ^/phpmyadmin/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/usr/share/phpmyadmin/$1 ProxyPassMatch ^/phpmyadmin/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/usr/share/phpmyadmin$1index.php ``` and everything works.. when i go to MY.IP/phpinfo.php i get the phpinfo from /var/www/html/phpinfo.php and when i visit MY.IP/phpmyadmin/phpinfo.php i get the processed contents of /usr/share/phpmyadmin/phpinfo.php. My problem is solved but i still don't understand why the network connection with php-fpm works but the unix socket doesn't.
