I've been able to rather easily get facebooks hhvm working from prebuilt debian packages as well as compile it, and afterwards to run it behind apache as a proxy. The problem with the proxy setup is though, that I can't get response headers other than http status code 200 - like 304 for example - through. It's not the proxy config of apache, but something wrt hhvm and apache interact, or even in hhvm.
Anyway, HHVM officially stopped supporting the standalone server, and they're moving over to fastcgi, and as all of our servers are running Debian, I don't have access to mod_proxy_fastcgi without compiling it (the only backports I found of apache 2.4 don't have mod_proxy_fastcgi backported unfortunately).
So I'm currently trying to get HHVM to run behind the old mod_fastcgi with apache 2.2. But currently I'm only getting "connect() failed" in the error log of apache, while hhvm is listening on :::1080
The important part of my apache config is
RemoveHandler application/x-httpd-php
FastCgiExternalServer /home/www/hhvm/hostname/htdocs/php5.fcgi -flush -host ip6-localhost:1080
AddType application/x-hhtpd-fastphp5 .php
Action application/x-httpd-fastphp5 /php5.fcgi
Alias /php5.fcgi /home/www/hhvm/hostname/htdocs/php5.fcgi
netstat also lists hhvm as listening on :::1080 and I can connect to it via telnet
Any Ideas on what I need to change so it works?
Looks like a IP6 port problem. Try
\[ip6-localhost\]:1080. Not sure if this has side effects in Apache.How do ports work with IPv6?
