Problems with FastCGI timeout on IIS 6.0

lettie_dude — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 09:31:47 GMT

This problem has been dogging me for some months now. So wondered if anyone else had come across it or had a solution to it.

Set up is as follows:

Windows Server 2003
IIS 6.0
PHP 5.2.6

PHP settings:
upload_max_filesize=21m
post_max_size=21m

FastCgi Settings:

QueueLength=1000
MaxInstances=10
ActivityTimeout=600
InstanceTimeout=600
InstanceMaxRequests=10000
EnvironmentVars=PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS:10000

I have a file upload system on a site for a client hosted as above. The problem I was having before increasing the timeout settings above from 300 to 600. Was any file over around 11mb was causing a FastCGI error (0x800703e3) error number 995 timeout error. Files smaller than this seemed to upload fine.

Once I increased the settings above everything worked as above except now after about 6-7 minutes I get an http server error 500 on files bigger than 11mb. As you can see the timeouts are set to 10 minutes so this should be ok. The file size variables in php are set to 21m and the largest file I have tried so far is 18.8m so should be no problem with file size.

The other problem is they are hosting on there own server and I have been liasing with their IT guy to try and resolve this his findings were as follows:

With the testing I did I proved the following It was the CGI timings causing large files to time out on the site giving us a error ( files over 10M ) The main problem I was seeing is a big difference between out side traffic and inside traffic Out side yourself or a customer always timed out 10M or so with an error

Inside timed out or froze with files 6M 8M etc usually without an error. So this indicates a timeout with AT&T gateway outwards we use which is very difficult to prove at present. My next step is to try and get simon to route directly to the box over the LAN which is causing concern as the server is sat on a DMZ.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to resolve this?

Many thanks

Only one PHP Application will work at a time.

I have a 32bit 2003 STD R2 SP2 server running FastCGI and PHP 5.2.6. There are two IIS Sites running, each with their own application pool and identity. One site is running WordPress and the other is running PHPMyAdmin. When the server first starts or IIS is reset, the site which is hit first runs fine. The other site will get this error:

FastCGI Error

The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.

Error Details:

The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly
Error Number: -2 (0xfffffffe).
Error Description: Unknown Error

HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

--------------------------

I have done the following in my attempt to resolve this issue:

Reset IIS, and load the site which was throwing the FastCGI error (PHPMyAdmin) before the site that wasn't (WordPress). The PHPMyAdmin site worked fine but the WordPress site did not.
Reset IIS and did the exact opposite as above (loaded WordPress before PHPMyadmin) and the exact opposite result was achieved (WordPress worked but PHPMyAdmin did not).
Checked permissions for all directories in concern (c:\php; c:\windows\system32\inetsrv; respective website directories). All permissions were fine, as I suspected because the sites do work if they load first.
Ran c:\php\php-cgi.exe d:\websitelocation\phpscript.php for both sites and the proper result was returned.
Cussed and screamed at the server, PHP, and FastCGI and the expected result was achieved (the vein in my forehead nearly popping). :-)
Checked FastCGI config file (fcgiext.ini) against the documentation here: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/248/configuring-fastcgi-extension-for-iis60/.
Configured FastCGI with separate settings for each website. Same result.

I may have forgotten one or two things I have tried but I think I got them all.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

FastCGI process exited unexpectedly

Hi I'm a neophyte so please pardon what may seem like basic stuff. I am having a problem with FastCGI stopping for what seem like no real reason. It works for a while and then following a configuration change PHP.ini it stops. I get an HTTP error 500.0 error.If I run a PHP - info from command prompt it seems to be running but I try the same thing in a script I get the error.IIS unable to access web.config. Solution proposed is to verify the NTFS permission for web.config.

What now? Any help would be appreciated.

iis 6 + php 5.2.6 + fast cgi rtm

HiGuys,

I've been struggling with this for over 2 days now and I've spent more that 9 hours today on trying to find this bug.

Here is the deal:

I get a 500 error (unspecified) at complete random times. I've hit the server so hard with requests (using apache bench btw), I've done over 100.000 requests to the website, and everything runs just fine. (Although the load is going sky high on this dual xeon 3ghz machine).

Then when I think I finally got everything stable as it should, I get the stupid 500 error again.

The data is:

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)

All requests go to 1 scripts which then issues a fopen http post to another (can be different scripts depending on the query params given to the first script) script using cURL.

The contents of my ini file:

[Types]
php=PHP

[PHP]
ExePath=c:\php\php-cgi.exe
MaxInstances=10000
InstanceMaxRequests=200
EnvironmentVars=PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS:10000
IdleTimeout=200
ActivityTimeout=300
RequestTimeout=300

I've have InstanceMaxRequests up to 10000 too, butno avail.

This is driving me crazy since I can't reproduce the error.

I can provide you with more info, just tell me what you need to know, so we can fix this error / misconfiguration.

Server config:

dual xeon 3ghz with HT

2gb ram

iis 6.0 running on win2k3 web

Script errors prompt file download instead of rendering

johndough123 — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:33:56 GMT

Just installed FastCGI. So far so good, however, if a page has a script/syntax error, the browser is prompting to download the file instead of rendering it. Has anyone else seen or experienced this?

Thanks!
