I installed php fpm on ubuntu, and enabled the proxy_fcgi module. I created a test file that just calls phpinfo, but since I switched to php fpm, when I hit the page, instead of executing the php code, apache just returns a page that contains the php source. I don’t find any error in the logs.

I’ll provide the relevant config files I modified and relevant commands below. Any idea what I did wrong?

I hit the phpinfo.php page and expected to see the details of the php environment. Instead I got the source code of the page:

$ ls -l /var/www/html/phpinfo.php 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data www-data 20 Mar 30 12:02 /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
$ cat /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
$ curl http://localhost/phpinfo.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
