Q. Apache: logging AH01071: Got error 'Primary script unknown'
A. This is caused when a robot (usually) attempts to access a .php URL that doesn't exist. So only run php when the file exists.
In .../conf.d/php.ini
Change
<IfModule !mod_php.c>
...
<FilesMatch \.(php|phar)$>
SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock|fcgi://localhost"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
To
<IfModule !mod_php.c>
...
<FilesMatch \.(php|phar)$>
# Ensure the .php file exists
<If "-f %{REQUEST_FILENAME}">
SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock|fcgi://localhost"
</If>
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
There might be a small speed hit by checking for the existence of each
script before running it.
I expect this will be fixed/changed in the future.
Maybe a option will be added for php-fpm to suppress the error, etc.
That would avoid the possible speed hit.
