  The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout Reply Contact I was trying to do a phpbb3 conversion, but the script keeps timing out. I can't figure out how to increase the PHP timeout on IIS7. I tried adding the following code to the PHP script itself: ini_set('max_execution_time',6000); I tried increasing the FastCGI "RequestTimeout" to 6000 via the IIS7 tool provided with the admin pack. I also confirmed that this change was taking place in the applicationHost.config. <fastCgi> <application fullPath="C:\Program Files\PHP\php-cgi.exe" requestTimeout="6000" instanceMaxRequests="10000" /> </fastCgi> I also increased the sites "Connection time-out" to 6000. yet the script keeps timing out in a reletively short period of time, maybe 30 seconds max. This is the error produced.

  Re: The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout Reply Contact where is that? general IIS, fastCGI setting or PHP setting? I did a search in applicationHost.config for the word "activity" and nothing was found, same with php.ini I remember in IIS6 in FCGIext.ini there was an "ActivityTimeout" variable, but I don't know what it would be in IIS7.  Canadian News | Canadian Forums | Canadian Blogs

If you use the FastCGI UI, you will see it there. Your fastCGI section in appHost config will look something like <fastCgi>   <application fullPath="<path>" arguments="<args>" activityTimeout="<value"> ...<otherValues>.... /> </fastCgi> -Kj

  Re: The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout Reply Contact thanks. But how can one set different activityTimeout's for different sites? Say i have one site that sends newsletters and the script takes minutes to run, so it will need a high activityTimeout. but i don't want this high value across my entire server, because thats bad right? Could waste resources on slow loading scripts. Canadian News | Canadian Forums | Canadian Blogs

  Re: The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout Reply Contact You can use the approach similar to the one described in this article http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/208/#Per-site (look for the section "Per-site PHP process pools") The configuration will looks similar to this: <fastCgi>   <application fullPath="C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe" arguments="-d my.website=site1" activityTimeout="<value1>"  />   <application fullPath="C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe" arguments="-d my.website=site2" activityTimeout="<value2>" /> </fastCgi> The for each web site define a handler mapping for PHP as below: Site1: <system.webServer>     <handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script">         <add name="PHP via FastCGI" path="*.php" verb="*" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe|-d my.website=site1" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" />     </handlers> </system.webServer> Site 2: <system.webServer>     <handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script">         <add name="PHP via FastCGI" path="*.php" verb="*" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe|-d my.website=site2" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" />     </handlers> </system.webServer> http://ruslany.net

  Re: The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout Reply Contact hmm ok thanks, i might do this. But I am thinking this might be a bit to maintain and I still can't do it per script with this. Might be a better option to set a relatively high value for the fastCGI timeout then set the php.ini timeout to a lower value. then use the ini_set('max_execution_time',VALUE); command when i need a specific script to have a long timeout. I am just wondering if there are any concerns with having a long timeout for the fastcgi value? Canadian News | Canadian Forums | Canadian Blogs
