Re: [INTERNALS-WIN] RE: php-fpm for Windows?

Hi,
I'm a member of ApacheHaus and ApacheLounge. Indeed there is only
winnt mpm on windows available.
mod_h2 for http/2 works with worker mpm, event mpm and winnt mpm.
As mentioned right prefork does not work with mod_h2 since it does not
support threads.

There is already a way to run php-fpm on windows- The php-cgi.exe has
the option.

-b <address:port>|<port> Bind Path for external FASTCGI Server mode

Within apache

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module modules/mod_proxy_fcgi.so

I haven't tried that in ages (PHP 7.2). So it was either

<Files ~ "\.php$">
    SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000#"
</Files>

or

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName fpm.local.apachehaus.de
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    CustomLog "C:\nul" common
    ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$
fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/c:/Users/jblond/work/$1
    DirectoryIndex /index.php index.php

    DocumentRoot "/Users/jblond/work"

    <Directory "/Users/jblond/work">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I don't recall how I managed to run php-cgi as a windows service.

From the stability view mod_fcgid is the much better option.

Cheers
Mario
