I've got a server with FastCGI that at random produces 500 internal server errors. In the specific account the errors are as follows in the error_log:
[Wed May 21 12:01:29 2008] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/user/php-wrapper" aborted: (first read) idle timeout (30 sec)
[Wed May 21 12:01:29 2008] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/user/php-wrapper"
As you can see this unfortunately does not tell me anything.
Now viewing the apache error_log I see this
Code:
[Wed May 21 12:51:11 2008] [warn] FastCGI: scheduled the restart of the last (dynamic) server "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/user/php-wrapper" process: reached dynamicMaxClassProcs (10)

All warnings so I'm assuming these don't mean anything.
This is applies to both Horde and roundcube webmail client software;
Using Plesk 11.5.30 with Horde 5.1.5 or roundcube 0.9.5 on CentOS Linux release 6.5 (Final).
We have seen this behavior occur on multiple servers.
Clients experienced slow to no response after executing a search, which eventually results in a failed to communicate with the server-error in the webmail client.
The Apache server log shows script time-out errors when searching larger mailboxes (i.e. larger than 950 MB), this does not happen on smaller mailboxes.
We have seen errors like the following in the Apache server error log with Horde (personal data like IP-address and domain name are x'ed out):
[Thu Jun 19 14:55:06 2014] [warn] [client xx.xxx.xxx.xxx] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 45 seconds, referer: http://webmail.xxxxxxx.com/imp/dynamic.php?page=mailbox [Thu Jun 19 14:55:06 2014] [error] [client xx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Premature end of script headers: ajax.php, referer: http://webmail.xxxxxxx.com/imp/dynamic.php?page=mailbox
And with Roundcube:
[Tue Jun 17 13:02:04 2014] [warn] [client xx.xxx.xxx.xxx] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 45 seconds, referer: https://webmail.xxxxxxxxxxx.com/?_t...d=19445&_mbox=INBOX&_caps=pdf=0,flash=1,tif=0 [Tue Jun 17 13:02:04 2014] [error] [client xx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Premature end of script headers: index.php, referer: https://webmail.xxxxxxxxxxx.com/?_t...d=19445&_mbox=INBOX&_caps=pdf=0,flash=1,tif=0
Steps to reproduce:
- use a large mailbox (950 MB or higher) - login to the webmail (Horde or roundcube) - do a search in the search field on the top right - the time-out error should appear in the server Apache error log (after at least 45 seconds)
This seems like an inefficiency or bug in the search query that searches the user's mailbox. Is there any other way we can prevent this issue and the error messages?
I installed FastCGI and configured it via fcgiconfig.js using this command
cscript fcgiconfig.js -add -section:"PHP" -extension:php -path:"C:PHPphp-cgi.exe" It configured fcgiext.ini and added the .php extension to the sites and what not.
When accessing a php script, I get the following error though:
FastCGI Error
The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request. Error Details:The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly Error Number: -2147467259 (0x80004005). Error Description: Unspecified error HTTP Error 500 - Server Error. Internet Information Services (IIS) I did not do anything special with the PHP. It is the zip 5.2.5 from the site. I configured php.ini and move it to c:/windows. I granted IUSR permission on php-cgi.exe
I seem to keep getting this error whenever I try to uploading something thats too large.
It transfers fine for a few mins, then it stalls and eventually I get this error message.
Small files are fine since they don't take long to transfer, it just seems that I can't have a file transferring for too long.
I can actually get the damn file through but since I keep getting that error, I need to keep manually clicking on the transfer button. So it takes about 20 tries before I can finish a 30MB file. And I have a lot of files to transfer so thats very troublesome.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? I tried turning off the firewall and opening ports on my router but it still doesn't work. Using Cute FTP.
Tried migrating a site from a much older server. The migration never completed, so it was aborted and all the migration files deleted. Now, I'm getting the following error on the Plesk Home page:
================= New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates: httpd: Syntax error on line 221 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 7 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz010_psa_httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 319 of /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/roundcube.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/webmails/roundcube/xxxxxxxxxxx.com_webmail.conf: No such file or directory . The error message containing the detailed error descriptions was sent to you by e-mail. Please resolve the issues and click here to generate broken configuration files once again or here to generate all configuration files. =================
Clicking either of the 2 available options (links) does not resolve the issue. How to clear this error?
I have a really challanging task of knowing why and host to fix the situation where at most times the CPU is totally idle and same for IO activity, yet the load at most times is 16-40+.
For instance at time of writing this: The load is 16 now and linux says:
How could that possibly be? And could you wonderful folks attempt to offer me advice on how to find out why load is so high yet almost totally idle activity.
If you need various commands for me to run for you to see more info, let me know.

If there's also any ADMINS (with good status) that are willing to look at this and think they can figure out this case, let me know. I'll gladly pay.
We've been frantically looking to move from this company called Media Temple for our staging server / email needs. Our application / corporate servers are hosted with The Planet.
Any one have any suggestions for a shared hosting provider between the regular $10-$20 / month range, having the following things:
Windows with .NET 2.0/3.5 and AJAX installed At least 5GB storage IMAP email with IDLE support or Exchange email (will pay more) Ability to host at least 10 domains Minimalist Control panel and Webmail preferred
It seems that since my latest update of 12.0.18. Now everytime I login to the Admin interface of plesk. I am prompted to relogin several times when browsing using file manager or clicking on domains or sitting idle for like 15 seconds.
It can do this up to 5 times in a 5 minute period or while not even being idle.
I already have php successfully compiled as apache modules but not the fastCGI version, i just trying to compile with the following setting, but weird, could not get the php-cgi binary out of it, only the apache module :
I was wondering whether anyone can help me, I'm having some major performance problems running PHP on IIS using Shane Caraveo's php_fcgi.dll
PHP: 5.1.1. IIS: 6
Basically I'm getting to the point where the isapi requests jump rapidly to 400+ requests from a meagre 2 -5 requests. Given the high number of requests this is essentially bringing the server to a standstill.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can begin getting to the bottom of this either through network monitoring or application debugging?
I'm looking at optimizing our dynamic content delivery process and there are some interesting claims regarding fastcgi vs. mod_php.
What I am wondering about is assuming apache serving ONLY php content, why would fastcgi perform any better than mod_php? The memory footprint of spawned workers exists in both solutions.
Wouldn't context switches and buffering in fastcgi actually lower performance?
What could be gained by using a different web server (nginx/lighty) ? The primary bottleneck would still be physical memory (assuming <255 workers) ?
i'm using fastcgi for PHP app. i have 5 sites on my server but fastcgi works only one site which is the first opened if you open second site iis give me error like "HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error C:PHPphp-cgi.exe - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly". i restart iis and open another site firstly it works but again another site give me error.
I've already posted this over at the vBulletin forums and with their tech support team, but so far no one has been able to find a solution. Someone suggested I post here as well.
I am currently running vB using PHP 4.3.9 with Zend WinEnabler on a windows 2003 server. I have a seperate database server and a web server. This current configuration works fine, but I am moving to an upgraded web server and this is where the problems start.
Due to intermitant issues with Zend WinEnabler (now a discontinued product) I wanted to move to the latest version of PHP (5.2.5 NTS) and Microsoft FastCGI. The problem is that I am getting blank pages when clicking the Today's Post link from the top menu and immediately following the submission of a new post. I've gone through all of the vBulletin listed suggestions about trouble shooting blank pages and none apply.
Because I have a seperate database sever, I am accessing the same database with the new server vB configuration I am migrating to. As such I suspect the issue has to be related to web server given there are no issues on the current live site and the only changes are the PHP version and acceleration app.
If anyone has some suggestions, please let me know. I am running out of time on my server migration window before I am going to be billed for two servers.
I try to enable register globals for a specific domain using htscanner and .htaccess (php runs as fastcgi). My phpinfo page says that register globals are On but they don't work.
I recently changed one of my development servers from suPHP to FastCGI. I will admit, FastCGI is much quicker at PHP page generation and the system seems much more responsive.
However, I am looking into how FastCGI differs from suPHP in terms of security. Both run as a form of CGI outside of Apache itself -- which in theory is more secure. However, suPHP prevented users from setting insecure permissions (for instance, the max for files was 644, and for folders it was 755) -- something which FastCGI does not appear to do (although it could due to how it runs as a user).
Does anyone have any comments on this? Is there a way to force these same restrictions via FastCGI?
Also, any other comments in regards to the security of FastCGI vs. suPHP? I have run numerous searches and I don't seem to be able to find much. Google just returns a bunch of providers whose 'customers' are celebrating due to the provider choosing to implement FastCGI.
I have a server running Apache 2 with PHP as an Apache module. There are a few php scripts that use lots of cpu when they run and have lots of hits, but Apache is still running fine and pages and php scripts load pretty fast. I was just wondering if running PHP as fastcgi would use less cpu or make php scripts load faster.
I setup PHP support to Run as FastCGi Application, and i setup the memory_limit=32M in DOMAIN/etc/php.ini, then i create a php program with ini_set('memory_limit','128M'), it does not according to my settings are limited. How can i limit it , only just use the disable_function = 'ini_set' ? or Was there other methods ? Because, When PHP runs as apache module , i can use the php_admin_value in vhost.conf to limit what i want , it does not limit everything like this (disable_function).
I've a new installation of Plesk 12 on a VPS (Ubuntu LTS12.04) and when FastCGI is selected it downloads the PHP files instead of parsing the PHP? Where to look config wise? I've checked php short tag options and they all seem fine.I've set up a test subscription to display the error here: URL....
In my Plesk 12.0, I installed support por PHP 5.3, and 5.4. But when I go to configure my site, I only can select these versions if I put PHP like FastCGI:
But in "Apache Module" I only can select PHP 5.3.3:
My WebSite doesn't work with FastCGI, only with "Module Apache".
We have been working on a site for a while, couple of days ago I copied the source from the server - as there are few people making the changes to it - to get a fresh copy.
Yesterday I was blasted by my client that I have deleted files on the server and it had caused the site to go in disarray and they had to upload everything again.
I didn't delete anything, only copied, and after some arguments (naturally I am not happy with the allegation put on me) I was able to get the FTP log, but I don't really know how to read it, I am hoping that someone here would know and be able to assist:

I have replaced the IP, application name with x.
I am guessing that *c means copy, but I don't want to make fool of myself when I confront them with this. Assuming that *c is copy what would be the command for delete?
