Topic: Is mod_fcgid loaded?

[sam452]

I've followed James' excellent post https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2394

on this Windows 2016 box and installed php 7.20 and installed mod_fcgid. I started getting whitescreens on heavy PHP pages in Drupal 8 and noted to change the timeouts in php.ini and my httpd.conf file with a small increase in the fcgid timeout over the setting in php.ini.

To verify, I'm viewing the php_info() page and cannot find the settings made in httpd.conf for mod_fcgid. It is located in the c:\Apache24\modules folder.

Am I bit by the misalignment of 32/64 VC15 etc?

The only fcgi I see is
cgi-fcgi
which shows NONE of the mod_fcgid I set in httpd.conf.

Later on in James' post he notes that there should be a n php7apache2_4.dll which I cannot find at all. Reading elsewhere, perhaps I don't need that DLL in this architecture? Help me see what I'm overlooking. thx.

Here are some environment variables that may help.

Hi Sam,

php7apache2_4.dll is an actual loadable Apache module that runs php in the Apache process. The problem most encounter with this is if a php page crashes php, it crashes Apache as well. NTS versions of php do not include this module and are to be run either as a standard CGI, or FastCGI with mod_fcgid.

Does this help?

Yes, it would reaffirm that in this NTS of PHP 7, that php7apache_2.4.dll is not needed. Since mod_fcgid is installed to modify the stock CGI module, should I be concerned that my mod_fgcid directives are not appearing in phpinfo()?
