Error 1 and 3 is common, not to worry.

Error 2 looks not from mod_fcgid, what is the real line in the log ?

Your config misses some Windows related FcgidInitialEnv's, see in the mod_fcgid download here, there is a readme.txt with an example with preferred settings.

Thanks for quick replay i now put related FcgidInitialEnv's and looks now

<ifModule mod_fcgid.c>
FcgidInitialEnv PATH "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.26;C:/WINDOWS/system32;C:/WINDOWS;C:/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem;"
FcgidInitialEnv SystemRoot "C:/Windows"
FcgidInitialEnv SystemDrive "C:"
FcgidInitialEnv TEMP "C:/WINDOWS/Temp"
FcgidInitialEnv TMP "C:/WINDOWS/Temp"
FcgidInitialEnv windir "C:/WINDOWS"
FcgidInitialEnv PHPRC "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.26"
AddHandler fcgid-script .php
FcgidWrapper "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.26/php-cgi.exe" .php
FcgidInitialEnv PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS 1000
FcgidIOTimeout 40
FcgidConnectTimeout 3
FcgidProcessLifeTime 3600
FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess 50

FcgidMaxProcesses 1000

FcgidMaxRequestLen 131072

FcgidIdleTimeout 300
FcgidBusyTimeout 300
FcgidBusyScanInterval 120
FcgidErrorScanInterval 3
FcgidZombieScanInterval 3
</ifModule>

Is this corect? Now i dont get 503 error anymore?

[Steffen]

That looks better now.

[iztokba]

Looks better, but proceses are not killed from some time and now RAM goes to haigh and server now hawe bad respons.

i have mod_fcgid for different php 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and in httpd.config i have the same config for each is this good?

please help

You can define different configs in the context. It is at least recommend to set different php.ini paths

I just have a follow up question and though I would reply here rather than start a new thread (apologies if I this isn't proper etiquette).

I too am receiving a similar warning as OP's number 1. mod_fcgid: process xxxx graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL

I've read in a couple of different places that this is most likely caused by FcgidIOTimeout. I'm just curious if this warning is something I should be concerned about and if it has any real impact on performance (from what I can tell it hasn't had any real negative impact other than flooding the logs with warnings).

Setup Details below:

Win Server 2003 SP2
Apache: 2.2.27
mod_fcgid: 2.3.9
PHP 5.4.27

mod_fcgid setup/config:

<IfModule fcgid_module>
FcgidIOTimeout 40
FcgidConnectTimeout 10

FcgidMaxProcesses 300
FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass 300

FcgidOutputBufferSize 64

FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess 0
FcgidMinProcessesPerClass 0
FcgidFixPathinfo 0

Thanks in advance for any information on this.

Cheers!

mod_fcgid: process xxxx graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL is normal behavior. Don't worry about them.

By the way...When will the next version release?
