php_fastcgi
An opinionated directive that proxies requests to a PHP FastCGI server such as php-fpm.
Caddy's reverse_proxy is capable of serving any FastCGI application, but this directive is tailored specifically for PHP apps. This directive is actually just a convenient way to use a longer, more common configuration (below).
It expects that any index.php at the site root acts as a router. If that is not desirable, either perform your own URI rewrite or use something like the expanded form below and customize it to your needs.
Syntax
php_fastcgi [<matcher>] <php-fpm_gateway>
- <php-fpm_gateway> is the address of the FastCGI server.
Since this directive is an opinionated wrapper over a reverse proxy, you can open a block and use any of reverse_proxy's subdirectives to customize it.
Expanded form
The php_fastcgi directive is the same as the following configuration:
# Add trailing slash for directory requests
@canonicalPath {
file {
try_files {path}/index.php
}
not {
path */
}
}
redir @canonicalPath {path}/ 308
# If the requested file does not exist, try index files
try_files {path} {path}/index.php index.php
# Proxy PHP files to the FastCGI responder
@phpFiles {
path *.php
}
reverse_proxy @phpFiles <php-fpm_gateway> {
transport fastcgi {
split .php
}
}
Most modern PHP apps work well with this preset. If yours does not, feel free to borrow from this and customize it as needed instead of using the php_fastcgi shortcut.
Examples
Proxy all PHP requests to a FastCGI responder listening at 127.0.0.1:9000:
php_fastcgi 127.0.0.1:9000
Same, but only for requests under /blog/:
php_fastcgi /blog/* 127.0.0.1:9000
