Install PHP-FPM:

sudo apt-get install -y php5-fpm \
     php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php5-gd php5-curl

php -v

sudo service php5-fpm status

Edit www.conf to lsiten on network listen = 127.0.0.1:9000:

sudo service php5-fpm restart

Configure Apache:

# See what's available
ll /etc/apache2/mods-available | grep proxy

# Enable proxy modules
sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_fcgi

sudo service apache2 restart

Virtualhost:

sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.conf

Vhost:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    ServerAlias example.*.xip.io

    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public

    <Directory /var/www/example.com/public>
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    <FilesMatch \.php$>
        # 2.4.10+ can proxy to unix socket
        # SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"

        # Else we can just use a tcp socket:
        SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000"
    </FilesMatch>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example.com-error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example.com-access.log combined

sudo vim /var/www/example.com/public/index.php

Make php file:

<?php
