Apache 2.4 + PHP-FPM Ubuntu 14.04

Create a php-fpm pool /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/$USER.cnf

In Vhost:

Enable/disable modules and restart services

Don’t forget to enable “index.php” in your DirectoryIndex directive, if using PHP-FPM! Also, remove any PHP directives from Apache, and configure in PHP-FPM instead.
