PHP 5.2, Lighttpd And "looks Like The Fastcgi-backend (/) Terminated"
Sep 10, 2008
We're running two servers with identical configurations, both running Lighty 1.5.0 and PHP 5.2.4, however one of the servers is generating the following error in the PHP error log:
looks like the fastcgi-backend (/) terminated before it sent a FIN packet
We've been Googling all morning and found nothing so I was wondering if anyone perhaps has had the same problem or might know what we could do to fix it. It's quite strange as it's only one of the two servers which generates this error.
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 was just wondering what switch everyone would recommend for running a back-end network. We plan to push mainly backup and management traffic over this network. The idea is to have an NAS box connected at 1GBit/sec and all of the servers at 100Mbit/sec backing up to that.
We currently use Cisco Catalyst 2960's to connect the servers to the front-end so it would make sense to use 2960G's for the back-end to keep the overall management of things simplified. There is of course quite a big price difference between a standard 2960 and a 2960G.
Every limestone say of servers are making spam, in my one month of company again, i have new case, but this is high wrong.
Company simple poweroff and send e-mail with "Terminated Server", why? If your company don't can make nothing, i can, if your Windows and Network is not secured i have anything with this?
If your company don't provide services control, i don't can make anything?, if your company don't announce i can make nothing?
Wrong company relations, have only price and good hardware.
My StartLogic account has been terminated by their "Legal Team" saying that I am violating their TOS. Actually, They've terminated it because I've been using too many resources lately, and they don't have the courage to tell me that their unlimited plan are limited.
Anyway the account is now terminated/suspended/inaccessible and I'm now in progress of moving to a VPS.
I'm contacting them now for several days to download just one database, and then let the account go! But they are not responding No emails received, and when I contact their Live Support chat they have only one one thing to say "I have updated the ticket, one of our specialist will contact you soon." Come on What ticket are you talking about? The account has been already terminated, I want to download a database so I can move my website, I don't want any file as they said we can't backup your files because they violate our TOS, it's Okay, I would like to download a DB, they're just ignoring me
I inherited an Apache HTTP instance from a colleague. That's why I'm not deep into that stuff. My current scenario is the following: We are running several backend instances which are published to the internet via Apache HTTP Server which is configured as Reverse Proxy (RP). In the past there was only one port and one protocol to handle by the Apache HTTP (RP).
Now I have the following need. There has to be published a Web Service from one instance using two Ports with two protocols (HTTP and HTTPs). I'm not sure how to solve that need.
A solution I tried already was to change and add the variable DEF_BACKEND_PORT to DEF_BACKEND_PORT_1 and DEF_BACKEND_PORT_2 but it didn't worked.
Currently i am trying to install an Apache 2.4.3 as a caching reverse proxy. I would like to use memcached as my cache backend. I figured out there is a mod_socache_memcache, which from my understanding, should do exactly that(in combination with mod_cache_socache). So i compiled mod_cache_socache from trunk, loaded mod_cache, mod_cache_socache and mod_socache_memcache, but now i am stuck with the configuration. Here is what i tried:
where do i configure the path to my memcached instance? The reason for memcached as chaching backend, is that the machine is a windows machine, and from my understanding mod_cache_disk is not as efficient on a NTFS filesystem as it is on EXT3/4.
Another reason is, that later on there should be a possibility to put a second Reverse Proxy machine which shares the cache with the first one by using the same memcached instance (is that possible at all?).
Ok, I have services at Veritynet on a vps, They have terminated our server that is fully PAID for a year without refund, due to a dispute I opened in paypal because of services being down for a week.
I talked with their customer support for three days to get my services back online, and finally said enough is enough, I want a refund to take my service elsewhere, Now he has totally cut off our services even tho the paypal dispute ended in no refund being given.
What is my course of legal action?
This was sent to an email:
We have received a charge back request from paypal and under our standard policies this constitutes forfeiture of all service rights and possible ban from any future services. Had you allowed us the time and consideration to work out your grievance we may have come to a mutual understanding but in taking the action that you did you have broken any trust that a service relationship will require. At this time we have no intentions of providing any further service for this account.
When I try to migrate from old server to new server, I get this error:
Warning: Deployer has been terminated by exception: Line 471 error: Element 'certificates': This element is not expected. Expected is one of ( sb-config, backup-settings, server-preferences, spamassassin, grey-listing, virusfilter, kav-settings, coldfusion, gapps-services, events ).
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.
