At the moment I use kind of shared hosting (ala webfaction) where one is able to build his own webserver which runs locally on some local port behind the system-wide Nging running as reverse proxy.

The usual setup on the host for PHP apps is to use system PHP-FPM along with system's Apache.

My PHP sites are used with my own Hiawatha server (running behind Nginx) and my own copy of PHP-FPM (v5.5.).

However I'd like to simplify admin work on the server by using my own instance of Hiawatha, but without the need to compile/maintain my own version of PHP.

After asking support stuff about the possibility I was advised to try with:

FastCGIserver {
        FastCGIid = PHP5
        ConnectTo = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock
        Extension = php
}

which does not work and I got the following in the log file:

Fri 01 Aug 2014 14:14:52 +0200|can't connect to FastCGI server PHP5
Fri 01 Aug 2014 14:14:53 +0200|FastCGI server PHP5 is still (partially) unavailable

Is it possibly some permission problem?

Hiawatha is running under my uid, while the php5-fpm.sock is:

srw-rw---- 1 www-data www-data 0 Jul 2 22:25 /var/run/php5-fpm.sock

PHP is running:

root 635 0.0 0.0 104264 4488 ? Ss Jul02 0:28 php-fpm: master process (/etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf)
www-data 636 0.0 0.0 104264 3600 ? S Jul02 0:00 php-fpm: pool www
www-data 637 0.0 0.0 104264 3600 ? S Jul02 0:00 php-fpm: pool www

Hiawatha version:

hiawatha -v
Hiawatha v9.6, cache, IPv6, reverse proxy, SSL (1.3.7), Tomahawk, URL toolkit, XSLT

Operating System:

(Debian) Linux someservername 3.10.44 #1 SMP Sat Jun 21 11:57:38 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any hint?

i think it has to be "/var/lib/hiawatha/php5-fpm.sock" in the www.conf for hiawatha to be able to connect to the socket

It was permissiom problem - system PHP was running as www-data, so they provided a new config file and init script to easily run my own PHP daemon without the need for complete PHP install. Everything is fine now.

Good to hear it all works now.
