php-fpm installed and running, but Apache24 still using CGI

Question

On my Freebsd server, I have Apache installed with php-fpm, but phpinfo() reports that the server is using CGI/FastCGI instead of FPM/FastCGI.

I can see several children of php-fpm, but they have no activity:

73819 - IW 0:00.00 php-fpm: pool www (php-fpm) 73820 - IW 0:00.00 php-fpm: pool www (php-fpm) 73821 - IW 0:00.00 php-fpm: pool www (php-fpm) 73822 - IW 0:00.00 php-fpm: pool www (php-fpm) 73823 - IW 0:00.00 php-fpm: pool www (php-fpm) <many more> 

The php-cgi process are all active:

86203 - I 0:04.84 /usr/local/bin/php-cgi 86204 - I 0:00.20 /usr/local/bin/php-cgi 86232 - I 0:03.44 /usr/local/bin/php-cgi 86233 - I 0:04.85 /usr/local/bin/php-cgi 86253 - I 0:00.79 /usr/local/bin/php-cgi <many more> 

I have a second identical server that is configured the same and works great. On the second server, phpinfo() reports that php-fpm = active. I've compared conf & ini files from both servers and can't seem to find it.

Any suggestions on where to look, or how to further debug?

Disable mod_fcgid

Enable mod_proxy and mod_proxy_fcgi plus its specific configuration Example:

<FilesMatch "\.php$"> # Unix sockets require 2.4.7 or later SetHandler "proxy:unix:/path/to/app.sock|fcgi://localhost/" </FilesMatch>
