    fcgiext.dll and Javascript execution

    Reply Contact

    I have been struggling with configuration issues for several days while migrating my web server from Linux to Windows and would appreciate some help.  My Windows development box is Windows XP SP3,  IIS 5.1, SQL Server Express 2008, PHP 5.2.11.

    Originally for the .PHP application mapping, I incorrectly chose php-cgi.exe.  This caused SQL Server connections to take several seconds.  Later I discovered that the recommended mapping for .PHP is fcgiext.dll.  Once I made this change, all SQL Server connection performance issues disappeared. 

    However, my web page has javascript that should execute while the page is loading.  I found that choosing fcgiext.dll instead of php-cgi.exe causes all javascript to execute after the page loads even if the javascript is in the head section.  It makes no difference if the javascript is embedded in the html or in an external file.

    Can anyone tell me how to get javascript to execute while the page loads with fcgiext.dll?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Can you try setting ResponseBufferLimit to 0 in fcgiext.ini? This will disable response buffering. Read more about this setting here.

    Thanks,

    Kanwal,

    Thanks, that worked!  I really appreciate it.

    Just in case anyone else runs into this issue. ResponseBufferLimit=0 has to be in the appropriate application section of fcgiext.ini.  In my case, it had to go in the [PHP] section.

    Regards,
    Mike

    I've also noticed this Kanwal. Is there any other way of ensuring javascript is processed correctly without disabling the buffer. Could IgnoreExistingFiles or IgnoreExistingDirectores be used for this?
