    Apache 2.4 includes some neat new functionality that be used to run PHP websites like WordPress very efficiently. A generic configuration can be found on http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PHP-FPM. But that is not quite enough to have a WordPress website running well. After some tinkering, I came up with the following:

    <VirtualHost _default_:80>
  ServerName            domain.com
  ServerAlias           www.domain.com

  DocumentRoot          /srv/http/domain
  CustomLog             /var/log/apache2/domain_access.log common
  ErrorLog              /var/log/apache2/domain_error.log

  <Directory />
    FallbackResource    index.php
    DirectoryIndex      index.php
    Options             Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride       None
    Require             all granted
  </Directory>

  ProxyPassMatch        ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/srv/http/domain/$1
</VirtualHost>

    Hi, creyes,

    Cheers.

    May I ask what is the purpose the ProxyPassMatch line?

    Hi. I have not had to look at my configuration for a long time, so give me a day or so to come up with a good answer to your question. In the meantime, here is the final configuration I came up with. It has been working fine for a long time:

    <VirtualHost _default_:80>
  ServerName            www.domain.com
  Redirect              permanent / http://domain.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
  ServerName            domain.com

  DocumentRoot          /srv/http/domain
  CustomLog             /var/log/apache2/domain_access.log common
  ErrorLog              /var/log/apache2/domain_error.log

  <Directory />
    FallbackResource    /index.php
    DirectoryIndex      index.php
    Options             Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride       All
    Require             all granted
  </Directory>

  <Directory /wp-admin>
    FallbackResource    /wp-admin/index.php
  </Directory>

  ProxyPassMatch        ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/srv/http/domain/$1
</VirtualHost>

    Here is a link to the Apache documentation on that directive:

    Hi, creyes123,

    Thanks.

    I think I find it out. The ProxyPassMatch line serves the fastcgi programme, or something like that.

    Yes, that’s it in a nutshell. It does a regular expression match on the file to make sure it is a PHP file. Then it passes it as an argument to the Fast CGI handler on port 9000.
