I recently switched my site over to using HTTPS in all the URL's. (My post here)

I am running Apache with PHP on Ubuntu 12.0.4

I was told that I should install the Apache module for SPDY since I am using SSL / HTTPS so I followed the directions on this site to install it, it installed without a problem... https://developers.google.com/speed/spdy/mod_spdy/

My problems start with PHP... if you view this page https://developers.google.com/speed/spdy/mod_spdy/php you can read about using PHP with SPDY

Basically it says that you need to use mod_fcgid instead of mod_php

My server currently uses mod_php for all my sites to run. So I installed the mod_fcgid handler and it installed without an issue. The problem was when I try to re-boot Apache. Things went crazy due to the content in my Apach config files.

from my http.conf file...

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
    php_flag track_vars On
    php_flag register_globals Off
    php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/zpanel/temp
</IfModule>

Changing the mod_php5 above to use the new mod_fcgid does not resolve my issues, it instead says that there is a problem with things like php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off it appears php_flag is not valid when using mod_fcgid ?

Sorry I don't have the exact errors now as I have restored my server back to mod_php so that it will work.

Everywhere in my config files where I have calls to mod_fcgid seemed to through an error though.

Any ideas how I can get this working?

When you're using mod_fcgid apache doesn't know anything about php anymore. It simply sends it off. So those configurations can't be in any apache configs. You'll need to add those settings to php.ini.
