Topic: Apache 2.4 & mod_fcgid 2.3.9 performance isues

[geolits]

Hello,

i have some isues with a new server installation, i would like a little help please.

My new server is a:

1) Windows 2016 server
2) Intel Xeon 3.20 GHz (2 Processors)
3) 6 GB Ram
4) Apache 2.4
5) mod_fcgid 2.3.9 (because i want to have multiple php versions)

Can you please suggest me, the better configuration for mod_fcgid?

Because i see, that my websites are very slow.

I compare them, with my old server which is:

1) Windows 2003 Server
2) CPU Intel Core 2 QuadQ9550 2.83 GHz
3) 4 GB Ram
4) Apache 2.2
5) No mod_fcgid

And i have a significant difference in responses.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you Very much.

Please post your fcgid config

[geolits]

Thank you for your reply.

My fcgid config now is this:

Is the mod_fcgid 2.3.10 stable available?

You say: I compare them, with my old server which is:

Is old sever also with mod_fcgid ?


We have here:

[geolits]

Hello and thank you for your reply.

It is old server, with no fcgi.

Fcgi is slower?

My configuration is looking good?

I'l give i try with your configuration too.

Thank you one more time.

Sorry for my edit, but in your configuration you have only these:

FcgidInitialEnv PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS 1000
FcgidInitialEnv PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN 0
FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess 1000
FcgidMaxProcesses 200
FcgidMaxRequestLen 8131072
FcgidIOTimeout 7200
FcgidConnectTimeout 180
FcgidBusyTimeout 7200

So you suggest to try these, and remove the other configuration lines i have in my configuration?

Thank you.

[Steffen]

FCGID performance is on par with PHP as module.

I do not see the needed lines in your config:

FcgidInitialEnv PHPRC "PATH to your php.ini"
FcgidInitialEnv PATH "PATH to your PHP ;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"


Yes, use only what I have.

[geolits]

The needed lines you are mentioning, are in another place, in vhost file, because i use fcgi to use different versions of php.

George

Hello,

i have updated the configuration for fcgi (as Steffen proposed), but again the tests at the old server is at minimum at half time faster than the new server with fcgi.

here you can see the ab test, with my primary configuration. At left is the same web site at the new server with apache 2.4 and fcgi, at the right is the same website at the old serve apache 2.2 without fcgi:

The same photo with the new fcgi configuration (As Steffen proposed):

Thank you again.

Did you enable op-cache in PHP on the new server?

[Steffen]

James answer triggers me:

Is mod_ fcgid using the same php.ini as the old ?

You can check with:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

[geolits]

Hello,

the only difference in the two php.ini file is that at the new server is disabled the "extension=php_zip.dll".

-----edit-----
Also i see now, that although in old server with apache 2.2, is enables the php_zip.dll in php.ini, in the php/ext folser there is no php_zip.dll file.

Maybe it didn't work at the old server too, but apache 2.2 still serves the website.
--------------


If i make this enabled at the new server with apache 2.4, then the site takes as a result a 500 error.

I dont find something about op-cache in either php.ini, on both servers.

Thank you again.

George

Hello,

any help pleas? Any idea?

Thank you again one more time for your time, knowledge and help.

Best regards,
George

[James Blond]

Hello,

you need to set the full path for the extensions.

e.g.

[geolits]

Hello and thank you one more time.

1) the full path of extension has benn set e.g. extension_dir = "C:\PHP\5.4.11\ext"

2) At my php 5.4.11 ext folder, there is no php_opache.dll file. At the php 5.6.40 & php 7.3.3 ext folder i see the php_opache.dll file.

So is opache available for php 5.4?

Because my old server has php 5.4 so i would like to make tests for the speed with the same php version.

Also to mention that at my old server i don't have opache too.


3) For the "cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 " i'm reading in the php.ini that the default value is "1". So it has a difference if i uncomment this line?

Thank you again.

Best regards,
George

[James Blond]

Hi George,

[geolits]

Hi James,

sorry but in php.ini file, i see this:

; cgi.fix_pathinfo provides *real* PATH_INFO/PATH_TRANSLATED support for CGI. PHP's
; previous behaviour was to set PATH_TRANSLATED to SCRIPT_FILENAME, and to not grok
; what PATH_INFO is. For more information on PATH_INFO, see the cgi specs. Setting
; this to 1 will cause PHP CGI to fix its paths to conform to the spec. A setting
; of zero causes PHP to behave as before. Default is 1. You should fix your scripts
; to use SCRIPT_FILENAME rather than PATH_TRANSLATED.
; http://php.net/cgi.fix-pathinfo

It says tha the default is 1.

So if i have this value =0 the fcgi will not be work?

Because at Apache Service Monitor and with "
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 " in comments i see this:

https://ibb.co/bgk2SRQ

With which i think so that fcgi works.

Thank again.

Ragards,
George

[geolits]

Hello,

the performance is about the same, with the cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 in comments or not.

There is significant difference with the old server, is about the double performance, with apache 2.2. and without fcgi.

George

[James Blond]

Apache still can run PHP as module. Maybe you can try that instead of fcgid.

What are your mpm settings did you tweak them for apache 2.4?
