SOLVED Getting file not found vs 404 with PHPFPM

[billmcollam]

Just upgraded to EA4 and provisioned with PHP71 and FPM. Generally worked though a few migration issues but noticed a bunch of errors in Apache log:

proxy_fcgi AH01071: Got error "Primary script unknown

Errors where frequent but sporatic. Eventually determined they were caused by a request for *.php page that didnt exist. User would simply see 'file not found' instead of normal 404 exception page. Relavant directives in httpd.conf:

<IfModule proxy_fcgi_module>
<FilesMatch \.(phtml|php[0-9]*)$>
SetHandler proxy:unix:/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/var/run/php-fpm/e052082a6e5649ecf631cbb5460a54c838adacd4.sock|fcgi://my.domain.com/
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

Presumably the proxy is getting the bad page request before my 404 exception coding can deal with it. How can I intercept these errors and perform proper 404 exception handling?

Hello,

I believe the Apache option you are looking for is "ProxyErrorOverride":

mod_proxy - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4

You can turn this option on with a line such as this under the "Pre Main Include" section in "WHM Home » Service Configuration » Apache Configuration » Include Editor":

ProxyErrorOverride on

Thank you.

Thanks Michael. I had read about that as a possible fix but was having challenges overriding the vhost configuration. But since it could apply to all vhosts... your suggestion was perfect. It worked fine. Many thanks.

Also, please include the 'PoxyErrorOverride On' code in the Post VirtualHost Include. It sometimes breaks WebMail as listed in the thread SOLVED - "File not found." instead of custom 404 file with php-fpm enabled.

Update: this solution is intermittently not working. Possibly a cPanel update made a change? I'm pursuing it in the other thread.

@PeteS I made a mistake in my post btw. It is actually 'ProxyErrorOverride On', not 'Poxy'. Typo. Make sure about that. Second of all, I am not sure about webmail's way of using PHP.
