There is a PHP5.3.3 bug that won't allow me to view php-fpm's /status page via Apache2. Is there a way to manually access this data? I cannot upgrade the box (Ubuntu 10.10, php5.3.4 not supported).
I've tried connecting using the technique here: http://inode.co.nz/testing-a-fastcgi-service, but no luck.
In order to load the /status page, you must have certain environment variables set, specifically: SCRIPT_NAME, SCRIPT_FILENAME, QUERY_STRING, and REQUEST_METHOD. You do not need DOCUMENT_ROOT (even for a normal request).
Under the correct pool (it is not a global setting) of your php-fpm config set (or uncomment):
pm.status_path = /status
Then run (replacing PORT):
SCRIPT_NAME=/status \
SCRIPT_FILENAME=/status \
QUERY_STRING= \
REQUEST_METHOD=GET \
cgi-fcgi -bind -connect 127.0.0.1:PORT
Sample Output:

Tested on a RHEL/CentOS 6 system with PHP v5.3.9.
(Side point of mention for people using CentOS - the package that provides cgi-fcgi is named fcgi and available from EPEL)
As an aside, the same can be achieved with ping:
Set: ping.path = /ping (php-fpm config)
SCRIPT_NAME=/ping\
SCRIPT_FILENAME=/ping\
REQUEST_METHOD=GET \
cgi-fcgi -bind -connect 127.0.0.1:PORT
Or for a regular PHP file (you have to use the full path, QUERY_STRING is optional):
SCRIPT_NAME=/test.php \
SCRIPT_FILENAME=/var/www/path/to/test.php \
QUERY_STRING= \
REQUEST_METHOD=GET \
cgi-fcgi -bind -connect 127.0.0.1:PORT
On newer ubuntu (e.g. 20), install the libfcgi-bin package apt install libfcgi-bin to get the cgi-fcgi command.
