    IIS6 / php-4.4.4-Win32 FastCGI stops responding after a couple hits.

    Reply Contact

    My setup is Windows Server 2003 SP1 (fully patched) + IIS6 + php.4.4.4.

    I've extracted IIS6-IIS51-FastCGI-Technical-Preview.zip, and ran the installer:

    c:\IIS6-IIS51-FastCGI-Technical-Preview>cscript fcgisetup.js /install
    Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.

    IIS version 6

    Path:IIS://localhost/W3SVC/6787/ROOT
    ...done
    Installation completed successfully.

    I created C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\modinfo.php with the text <?php phpinfo(); ?>.

    I can visit http://localhost/modinfo.php, and it shows me the correct phpinfo. After about 3/4 refreshes the phpinfo page simply hangs, and shows no output (it just keeps loading).

    I have to completely kill w3wp.exe to get it running again.

    HTTPERR logs shows:

    2006-11-01 12:36:38 127.0.0.1 1570 127.0.0.1 80 HTTP/1.1 GET /modinfo.php - 1 Connection_Dropped DefaultAppPool
    2006-11-01 12:36:38 127.0.0.1 1571 127.0.0.1 80 HTTP/1.1 GET /modinfo.php - 1 Connection_Dropped DefaultAppPool
    2006-11-01 12:36:38 127.0.0.1 1572 127.0.0.1 80 HTTP/1.1 GET /modinfo.php - 1 Connection_Dropped DefaultAppPool

    Any suggestions?

    We have not tested the technical preview with PHP 4 (PHP5 only) - there is a chance that there are some incompabilities with the php 4 CGI exe.

    We are looking into it right now - thanks for submitting the report, stay tuned!

    Thanks,

    Hi SoHoAlex,

    Thanks for reporting this! I just fixed the issue. We'll need to do a bunch of regression testing before releasing an update.

    Cheerz,

    Rick

    SoHoAlex,

    There is a workaround you can try to enable this scenario before the updated fix is released.

    In the fcgiext.ini file located in %systemdrive%\system32\inetsrv\, make the following changes to the settings for the path to your PHP.EXE:

    InstanceMaxRequests=150
    flushNamedPipe=1

    Then, do an iisreset.

    This will work around an issue that occurs whenever a FastCGI program quits before it exhausts the maximum number of requests configured for it, AND the fastCGI program has an issue with its handling of named pipes.  PHP 4.x has a bug in its handling of the FastCGI named pipe which causes the issue you are reporting.

    Let us know if this doesnt help you.

    Thanks,
