IIS7/PHP FastCGI

Reply Contact

Hi All

As mentioned in the config article http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis7/ section "Configure PHP and FastCGI Recycling Behavior" the following command does not work:

C:\>%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.webServer/fastCgi /+[fullPath='c:\{php_folder}\php-cgi.exe'].environmentVariables.[name=’PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS’, value='10000']

After reading I realize there is no fcgiext.ini file in IIS7. So my question is where do I config ’PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS’? Maybe this is not needed in IIS7?

You should find this setting in the applicationhost.config for IIS7, it appears that the INI file is only used in IIS6.

Is is not loctaed in the applicationhost.config file. I'm only running IIS7 and am not using backward compatability for IIS6. So then...does this mean it is not needed?

This setting is not mandatory and PHP on IIS7 will work fine with default value for it. The setting is supposed to be set in the <fastCgi> section of the applicationHost.config:

Here is how you can set it in applicationHost.config:

What error do you get when you run appcmd?

            <application fullPath="C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe" maxInstances="4" instanceMaxRequests="10000">
                <environmentVariables>
                    <environmentVariable name="PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" value="10000" />
                </environmentVariables>
            </application>
        </fastCgi>

What error do you get when you run appcmd?

I also couldn't get the command to run successfully, getting:

ERROR ( message:Cannot find SITE object with identifier "value='10000']". )

but now I have manually inserted the settings into applicationHost.config.

Thanks for that.
