Does anyone know how to install PHP on Ubuntu with fastcgi enabled? I've installed my PHP from the following site: http://www.dev-metal.com/how-to-setup-latest-version-of-php-5-5-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/

I've looked into installing fastcgi via (apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi) and have come up with the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libapache2-mod-fastcgi : Depends: apache2.2-common (>= 2.2.4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've hit the wall on this without any solutions, am running the latest Apache version 2.4, could use some help on this.

The developer who has ppa:ondrej/php5 which you have installed Apache2 from, has another ppa:ondrej/apache2 which has built libapache2-mod-fastcgi for apache2.4.

See https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/apache2?field.series_filter=precise

Both PPA's has apache2.4, You may download only libapache2-mod-fastcgi package to avoid Apache2 version racing if they are not the same.

But as of 2016 Feb, libapache2-mod-fastcgi in the ppa:ondrej/apache2 only supports trusty 14.04, vivid, 15.04, and wily 15.10. Seems there is no support for precise 12.04.
