<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
<a href="http://www.fastcgi.com/">FastCGI</a> protocol.</p>
<p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling the <code>FastCGI</code>
protocol, <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> have to be present in the server.</p>
<p>Unlike <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/">mod_fcgid</a>
and <a href="http://www.fastcgi.com/">mod_fastcgi</a>,
<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> <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> disables connection reuse by
default, so after a request has been completed the connection will NOT be
held open by that httpd child process and won't be reused. If the
FastCGI application is able to handle concurrent connections
from httpd, you can opt-in to connection reuse as shown in the following
example:</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Single application instance, connection reuse</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPass "/myapp/" "fcgi://localhost:4000/" enablereuse=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. Connection pooling is enabled.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>PHP-FPM</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPassMatch "^/myapp/.*\.php(/.*)?$" "fcgi://localhost:9000/var/www/" enablereuse=on</pre>
</div>
<p> The following example passes the request URI as a filesystem
path for the PHP-FPM daemon to run. In this case, PHP-FPM is listening on
a unix domain socket (UDS). Requires 2.4.9 or later. With this syntax,
the hostname and optional port following fcgi:// are ignored.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>PHP-FPM with UDS</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config"> # UDS does not currently support connection reuse
ProxyPassMatch "^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$" "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
reasons, you will want to define a <a href="mod_proxy.html#workers">worker</a>
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. When FastCGI is
configured this way, the server can calculate the most accurate
PATH_INFO.
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Proxy via Handler</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><FilesMatch "\.php$">
# Note: The only part that varies is /path/to/app.sock
SetHandler "proxy:unix:/path/to/app.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
</FilesMatch>
# Define a matching worker.
# The part that is matched to the SetHandler is the part that
# follows the pipe. If you need to distinguish, "localhost; can
# be anything unique.
<Proxy fcgi://localhost/ enablereuse=on max=10>
</Proxy>
<FilesMatch ...>
SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://localhost:9000"
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch ...>
SetHandler "proxy:balancer://myappcluster/"
</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>When configured via <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassmatch">ProxyPassMatch</a></code>, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> will not
set 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. This
variable can be set to multiple values to tweak at how the best guess
is chosen:
<dl>
<dt>first-dot</dt>
<dd>PATH_INFO is split from the slash following the
<em>first</em> "." in the URL.</dd>
<dt>last-dot</dt>
<dd>PATH_INFO is split from the slash following the
<em>last</em> "." in the URL.</dd>
<dt>full</dt>
<dd>PATH_INFO is calculated by an attempt to map the URL to the
local filesystem.</dd>
<dt>unescape</dt>
<dd>PATH_INFO is the path component of the URL, unescaped /
decoded.</dd>
<dt>any other value</dt>
<dd>PATH_INFO is the same as the path component of the URL.
Originally, this was the only proxy-fcgi-pathinfo option.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
