Topic: FastCGI with APC

[Smitty]

I'm having troubles getting APC working with FastCGI.

I have Apache set up with FastCGI and it is working correctly. When I add APC, I get strange errors. Images don't load on pages, and I get errors like this:

[Thu Jul 28 13:15:29 2011] [warn] [client x.x.x.x] (OS 109)The pipe has been ended. : mod_fcgid: get overlap result error, referer:
[Thu Jul 28 13:15:29 2011] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Premature end of script headers: minify.php, referer:

I'm using the same APC config settings that I used when I was running PHP as an Apache module:

extension="php_apc.dll"
apc.enabled = 1
apc.shm_segments = 1
apc.shm_size = 128M
apc.max_file_size = 10M
apc.stat=1

I am now using the NTS version of PHP and APC.

Any ideas?

Use Wincache is better and design for windows

I am using Wincache now...but I figured APC was better since Wincache was designed for IIS.

Are they any special settings required to set up Wincache? With it running, I see lots of:

[Thu Jul 28 14:40:07 2011] [warn] mod_fcgid: process 2676 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL
[Thu Jul 28 14:40:07 2011] [warn] mod_fcgid: process 2824 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL
[Thu Jul 28 14:40:07 2011] [warn] mod_fcgid: process 3840 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL
[Thu Jul 28 14:58:25 2011] [warn] mod_fcgid: process 1440 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL
[Thu Jul 28 14:58:25 2011] [warn] mod_fcgid: process 732 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL
[Thu Jul 28 14:58:25 2011] [warn] mod_fcgid: process 2756 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL
[Thu Jul 28 14:58:25 2011] [warn] mod_fcgid: process 3044 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL

Then I check the Wincache script and it reports that the opcode cache has reset and the uptime resets as well.

Apache and fcgid is designed to kill process every eq default 1000 hint so you lost cache evry 1000 request unless

I use wincache for a about ~year

This is my cfg:

MaxRequestsPerProcess 50000000
FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess 5000000000

ProcessLifeTime 0
FcgidProcessLifeTime 0
FcgidMinProcessesPerClass 0

FcgidInitialEnv PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS 1000000

FcgidMaxProcesses 400

IdleScanInterval 900000000000

Kanashii,

Thank you for the settings, they work great!
