any idea please ? a problem with fast-cgi ?

my board : http://www.dimadimaraja.info/forum/index.php

[gerr1t]

Have u tried mod_php? might be a decent temp workaround.

[007007]

mod_php is suitable for small sites, there's no solution for fast-cgi?

after 30min running the server is down

site config :

(I noticed that these errors / slowdown appear only when it s too much people on the forum => 300 members online or more ...)

What's in /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web5/.php-fcgi-starter? You might have to play around with the settings there.

[007007]

here my file

#!/bin/sh
PHPRC="/etc/php5/cgi/"
export PHPRC
PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT="/var/www/clients/client3/web5"
export PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT
# The variable PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN is onyl useful for lighty or nginx as apache 
# mod_fcgi will control the number of childs themself and never use the additional processes.
# PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=8
# export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=5000
export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS
exec /usr/bin/php-cgi \
 $1

what do I do please ?

[till]

mod_fcgi is controlled by these parameters in the vhost file:

IdleTimeout 3600
ProcessLifeTime 7200
# MaxProcessCount 1000
DefaultMinClassProcessCount 3
DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 100
IPCConnectTimeout 8
IPCCommTimeout 360
BusyTimeout 300

you might have to adjust them to match your installation if you have very high loads. there are a lot of google threads about tuning these parameters if you serach for the error message. e.g.

Hi,

values that the author has proposed is that which is by default !!

This did not work. Eventually we ended up putting the same contents into vhost.conf AND vhost_ssl.conf which appears to have worked. The values we ended up putting in both files were:

    <IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
    # Sane place to put sockets
    SocketPath /var/lib/httpd/fcgid/sock
    IdleTimeout 3600
    ProcessLifeTime 7200
    MaxProcessCount 1000
    DefaultMinClassProcessCount 3
    DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 100
    IPCConnectTimeout 8
    IPCCommTimeout 600
    BusyTimeout 300
    </IfModule>

he mentioned 2 files vhost.conf AND vhost_ssl.conf : where are they? but as I said these are the default values ...

[till]

Both links work, just click on them. Regarding the file names, the post is not about ispconfig, thats why the named of the files are different. Your vhost file is named /etc/apache2/sites-available/dimadimaraja.info.vhost

[007007]

ok

in the first link that the author has proposed is already in default files ispconfig3 I am wrong?

the 2nd link is blocked in my country, you can give me the solutions they found it please?
