Hi, i took some time and played with the latest mod_proxy_fcgi and PHP as Backend. It even works somehow :-)
I use trunk on Solaris 10x86 and PHP 5.1.2 configured as fastcgi server. PHP has been configured with "doc_root = /opt/www/html" and "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0" Omitting these settings when accessing /opt/www/html/i.php gives: "No input file specified." According to truss PHP tried to stat some weird files (e.g. proxy:balancer://phpfiles/i.php) finds nothing and *bang* In the working case SCRIPT_FILENAME is set to e.g. "proxy:balancer://phpfiles/i.php" My simple php apps work nevertheless. relevant lines from httpd.conf... ================================= <Proxy balancer://phpfiles> BalancerMember fcgi://localhost:8000 </Proxy> RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f # according to the docs REQUEST_FILENAME should contain the full filename # in this case its the same as REQUEST_URI (i.e. /i.php and not /opt/www/html/i.php) RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.php$ #RewriteRule ^/(.*) balancer://phpfiles/$1 [E=SCRIPT_FILENAME:%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME},P] # tried to overwrite SCRIPT_FILENAME, rewrite.log confirms this, but it didn't work ;-) # RewriteRule ^/(.*) fcgi://localhost:8000/$1 [P] # needs patch below (1) RewriteRule ^/(.*) balancer://phpfiles:8000/$1 [P] error.log (Patch (1) applied and corresponding RewriteRule used) ================================================================== ... mod_proxy_fcgi.c(88): proxy: FCGI: canonicalising URL //localhost:8000/i.php mod_proxy_fcgi.c(113): [client 192.168.210.20] proxy: FCGI: set r->filename to proxy:fcgi://localhost:8000/i.php mod_proxy_fcgi.c(118): [client 192.168.210.20] proxy: FCGI: set r->path_info to /i.php proxy_util.c(1397): [client 192.168.210.20] proxy: *: found reverse proxy worker for fcgi://localhost:8000/i.php mod_proxy.c(756): Running scheme fcgi handler (attempt 0) ... >From my limited perspective r->filename should be set to "/opt/www/html/i.php" Any ideas? While playing with mod_rewrite i realized it does not recognize fcgi as scheme yet (1) The following patch should solve this.
