You can use UDS too; you just have to trick Apache into creating proxy instances first: <Proxy "unix:/tmp/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://php-fpm"> # we must declare a parameter in here (doesn't matter which) or it'll not register the proxy ahead of time ProxySet disablereuse=off </Proxy> <FilesMatch \.php$> SetHandler proxy:fcgi://php-fpm </FilesMatch> This basically creates an alias to the UDS under whatever name you give it after "fcgi://", and you can reference that in SetHandler, rewrites or ProxyPass(Match). Apache will pass "proxy:fcgi://php-fpm:8000" (no idea why it picks that port) as the prefix to the backend in this case. The better solution of course would be if FPM supported the unix domain socket syntax in SCRIPT_FILENAME et al (which will then look like proxy:unix:/tmp/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://php-fpm, so it'll need to "regex-strip" ^proxy:unix:[^|]+|fcgi:// instead of the static proxy:fcgi:// prefix that it strips now. Anyone want to take a stab at fixing that? Line ~1100 in fpm_main.c :) David
