Topic: Apache and PHP-FPM in Windows :: how-to

[Steffen]

Stumbled over the following article:


We see a lot of research over the internet to make Apache & PHP-FPM work on windows.

But the first thing is: there is no php-fpm on Windows. And many people give up on this, because of too many or too complex solutions we find over the internet.

For sanity reasons, I will never talk about FPM on Windows, but I will instead talk about FastCGI.
Because FPM stands for FastCGI Process Manager. It’s just a manager for FastCGI processes.

I'm not sure. Why you want to use fpm?

You could spawn multiple PHP processes this way, to handle more requests at the same time.
However we can already do this with mod_fcgid, without the overhead of using a TCP connection.

Only reason I can think of is to make copying Apache configs to Unix slightly easier. But you'd still need to change the path names between Windows and Unix configurations.
