Hi. I believe our servers experienced a small scale DDOS attack last night. I say this because I found some DDOS type attacks on our ecommerce software. I had actually patched that vulnerability but I suppose enought requests will still take things down.
My issue is surrounding the fact that while FastCGI was not responding for any of the 5 IIS7/FastCGI/PHP sites we are hosting, the webserver was still servicing requests for another site using a different server side technology. This leads me to believe that I have something wrong in my FastCGI configuration, although at this point it's just a guess.
Here's the error I was receiving:
FastCGI Error
The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.
Error Details:
* The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout
* Error Number: 258 (0x80070102).
* Error Description: The wait operation timed out.
HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
Here's my fcgiext.ini config:
[Types]
php=PHP
[PHP]
ExePath=D:\php\php-cgi.exe
InstanceMaxRequests=10000
EnvironmentVars=PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS:10000
IdleTimeout=300
ActivityTimeout=300
RequestTimeout=300
Would simply turning up theInstanceMaxRequests help?
Thanks for any assistance
