After implementing Apache 2.4 and PHP-FPM with the default settings we found that our system cpu usage went up significantly over what mod_php used for the same amount of web test traffic from "ab"
So we read a bit about tuning PHP-FPM and from this page ... https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PHP-FPM We decided to put this ... ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/usr/local/apache/utk/docs/ into the httpd.conf file. In order to use the unix domain socket (UDS) approach as a possible solution to reducing the big spike in cpu usage. However we get this error when do a configtest on Apache ... AH00526: Syntax error on line 431 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: ProxyPass URL must be absolute! Any suggestions on the above error? Any tips on tuning Apache/PHP-FPM ? Thanks
