The instructions given below are to be run from the terminal. This is the only list of instructions which actually worked. I have reproduced the steps as a simple list to be followed based on the post made by JDawgg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Install Apache Mpm worker and PHP5 FPM modules:<\/strong><\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker\r\nsudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi php5-fpm\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Enable\/Disable mods in Apache<\/strong><\/p>\n
sudo a2dismod php5 mpm_prefork\r\nsudo a2enmod actions fastcgi alias mpm_worker\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Create php5.fcgi and provide the correct user rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n
sudo touch \/usr\/lib\/cgi-bin\/php5.fcgi\r\nsudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/usr\/lib\/cgi-bin\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Add a configuration for php5.fpm in Apache2<\/strong><\/p>\n
sudo vi \/etc\/apache2\/conf-available\/php5-fpm.conf\r\n<\/pre>\n
with the contents:<\/p>\n
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>\r\nAddHandler php5.fcgi .php\r\nAction php5.fcgi \/php5.fcgi\r\nAlias \/php5.fcgi \/usr\/lib\/cgi-bin\/php5.fcgi\r\nFastCgiExternalServer \/usr\/lib\/cgi-bin\/php5.fcgi -socket \/var\/run\/php5-fpm.sock -pass-header Authorization -idle-timeout 3600\r\n<Directory \/usr\/lib\/cgi-bin>\r\nRequire all granted\r\n<\/Directory>\r\n<\/IfModule>\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Enable php5-fpm module in Apache2<\/strong><\/p>\n
sudo a2enconf php5-fpm\r\n<\/pre>\n
Restart Apache2 and PHP-FPM<\/strong><\/p>\n
sudo service apache2 restart\r\nsudo service php5-fpm restart\r\n<\/pre>\n
If you do a phpinfo() on a test page, then the Server API information should show FPM\/FastCGI instead of the usual Apache 2.0 Handler.<\/p>\n
