Upgrade to Apache 2.4, can no longer save changes through PHP/MariaDB

Hi,

I upgraded to Apache 2.4 a few days ago, and with that came a few changes.  Firstly, Apache 2.4 no longer likes loading PHP 5 through a module.  This issue was easy to fix following these instructions, and now httpd is calling to php through the fcgi proxy.

I have a locally installed drupal website which uses MariaDB and pages are loading fine, however any change I make do not seem to be written.  I unfortunately do not really know why this is happening as there are no error messages of any kind (that I can find).  PHP must be able to access the database in order to generate the pages, however I do not know whether it is silently failing to write changes to the database, or whether PHP is not receiving the instructions to write the changes, or whatever else the issue may be.

Please let me know if you want any further information (configuration files, logs, output of particular commands, ...).

I cannot see any problems. I just set it up with exactly these instructions.
- apache 2.4
- PHP5 with php-fpm, mod_proxy_fcgi and mod_proxy_handler
- MariaDB: created a fresh database drupal, user drupal, password drupal in phpmyadmin
- fresh drupal in /srv/http/drupal-7.26
- followed install wizard (had to enable e.g. pdo_mysql in /etc/php/php.ini and reload php-fpm)
- created a new static content element, set "promote to frontpage" and saved
- my article is on the frontpage

Re: Upgrade to Apache 2.4, can no longer save changes through PHP/MariaDB

Firstly, loafer, yes I did search and yes I did see this other thread.  My issue was not in getting php to run as I managed to fix that on my own.  The changes I make on the website however are not saved.

Now progandy, thanks for trying this out.  I have actually just tried to do another installation of drupal, and that appears to work fine so I guess that means that issue is not between Apache/PHP/MariaDB and must be with some configuration of my website; I guess it's just a matter of finding exactly what is causing that (if anyone has an idea, please let me know as it'll save me some time).
