482 There is a shipped <filename>/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf</filename> file,
483 that contains the parameters related to the interaction with the Apache

501
502 <para>
503 To enable fastCGI support in the <application>Apache</application>
504 web server, two LoadModule directives must be added to the
505 <filename>httpd.conf</filename> file. They are commented out, so just
506 issue the following command as
507 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
508 </para>
509
510<screen role="root"><userinput>sed -i -e '/proxy_module/s/^#//' \
511 -e '/proxy_fcgi_module/s/^#//' \
512 /etc/httpd/httpd.conf</userinput></screen>
513
514 <para>
515 Those modules accept various <command>ProxyPass</command>
516 directives. One possibility is (as the
517 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user):
518 </para>
519
520<screen role="root"><userinput>echo \
521'ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/srv/www/$1' >> \
522/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</userinput></screen>
523
524 <para>
525 Additionally, it may be useful to add an entry for
526 <filename>index.php</filename> to the DirectoryIndex directive of the
527 <filename>httpd.conf</filename> file. Lastly, adding a line to setup the
528 <filename class='extension'>.phps</filename> extension to show
529 highlighted <application>PHP</application> source may be
530 desirable:
