  If you are seeing "The data is invalid", please read! Reply Contact The FastCGI team is trying to nail down a problem that is being reported periodically that we cannot reproduce.  Here is a bit of background on what's going on: We have code inside of the FastCGI handler that needs to parse response headers so that we can send them out through IIS.  There were some bugs in that code in the technical previews.  We fixed the bugs for the GoLive release, but we made some invalid assumptions about the header formats that some applications produce.  As a result, the GoLive release would cause certain requests to fail based on the headers returned by the FastCGI application.  On 10/31, we released an updated fcgiext.dll that we believe addresses all the issues, but these reports persist.  In particluar, we've seen Wordpress and Roundcube mentioned as applications that can cause this error. If you are one of the folks that are seeing this error, I would like to make a request that you take a look at a couple of things: First, could you please search your hard drive for all instances of a file called fcgiext.dll.  This is the FastCGI handler runtime.  If you have *any* instances dated prior to 10/25/2007, please go to http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=1000057 and get the most current version to replace all instances on your machine. Next, if the problem persists after making sure that only the latest version exists on your machine, please send me email directly with instructions to reproduce the problem.  You can get me at wadeh@microsoft.com.  Also note that I interested in seeing your repro as quickly as possible.  I am going to be heading out to Tech-Ed Europe at the end of the week, and I would like to have this fixed before I go. Thanks for your help!  I have copied the exact error below for your reference. -Wade ---------- FastCGI Error The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error Details: Error Number: 13 (0x8007000d). Error Description: The data is invalid. HTTP Error 500 - Server Error. Internet Information Services (IIS)

  Re: If you are seeing "The data is invalid", please read! Reply Contact I finally stumbled upon your posting here: http://forums.iis.net/t/1146852.aspx regarding “Data Invalid”, although I’m not getting that same message your content body suggested issues with WordPress and if the errors are still arising to contact you. Well I’m at wits end, I hope you have a suggestions, solution or even a workaround. My error message is easily recreated by simply clicking on my website (http://www.LouieAlvarez.com) links (buttons) multiple times, back to back and lo and behold the following message rears its ugly head: FastCGI Error The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request. Error Details:     * The FastCGI process has failed frequently recently. Try the request again in a while     * Error Number: -2147467259 (0x80004005).     * Error Description: Unspecified error   HTTP Error 500 - Server Error. Internet Information Services (IIS) I’ve been working on a solution for weeks now and still cannot resolve it. Been on many forums, searched all over the net, read through most of MSDN, and still have not, cannot resolve the above FastCGI Error. I hope you can help or at least point me in the right direction. Here is the information on my system you should find useful: ·  Operating System : Windows Server 2003 ·  Web Server : Microsoft-IIS/6.0 ·  MYSQL Version : 5.1.30-community ·  PHP Version : 5.2.8 ·  WordPress Version: 2.7 ·  FastCGI.dll Version: 6.1.36.1 (dated 11/8/07) Thank you very much in advance, I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Have you had any success in resolving this yet?  If so, please share.

  Re: If you are seeing "The data is invalid", please read! Reply Contact I have got the same error on my server. I'm using the MSSQL driver from Microsoft website to connect to my database, and I'm provoking an error on the name of a Stored procedure and concatenate the error fields on an array. The position that holds the error number of the error is recognized as a string, but a malformed string the string final character is not present and when i try to use the function 'echo' and 'print_r' the server return a FastCGI error: Error Details: The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly Error Number: -1073741819 (0xc0000005). Error Description: Unknown Error. Currently I'm using the function 'var_dump' to print that position of the array (if I use 'echo' or 'print_r' to print the array itself no error occurs). When printed with 'var_dump' all content next to it is printed like it was inside of the var.

Reply Contact This seems like a programming error which is causing PHP-CGI.EXE to behave abnormally and hence exiting FASTCGI. I am not sure if IIS can do anything here. Please try fixing your application. Thanks, Don.

  Re: If you are seeing "The data is invalid", please read! Reply Contact I just removed the piece of code that calls that position of the array, and it's ok for the application. Anyway, I think that I couldn't do anything, the array is returned from the MSSQL driver so it could be a problem of the driver too, but because of the topic I thought that could be a problem of FastCGI. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
