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.
View 0 RepliesWhat are the advantages/disadvantages of running PHP as Apache module vs. running PHP as CGI module on your server?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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

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
Am I missing something? I followed the guide here
Windows 2003 / IIS6 / PHP 5.2.5
I have just switched from mod_php to fastcgi + suexec, but now trying to use the ab command times out :
ab -n 10000 -c 100 [url]

I am using Apache 2.4.1 (Win64), PHP 5.3.10 on Microsoft Windows 2008 server. I have also installed Microsoft VC++ 2010 (64 bit). I successfully configured mod_fcgid 2.3.7 as per the instructions. This was confirmed by running info php page. But when I run FastCGI test scripts, the output is displayed in text form and not in html format.

and at the end of the file added --enable-expires

I have some questions about the LDAP authentication module.I have a LDAP authentication with this config:
<AuthnProviderAlias ldap ldap-account>
AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=directory search,OU=Service-User,DC=company,DC=ch"
AuthLDAPBindPassword "xxxxx"
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://ldap.company.ch/ou=Users,dc=company,dc=ch?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)"
</AuthnProviderAlias>
If a User logs in with username only, all works correct. If a user use the DomainUsername format, the login is rejected with "user not found".Should it not work with both login styles ? Or is there a option to reformat or rewrite the username before authentication without the "Domain part ?

I have been a web developer using PHP for years now, and my work laptop runs CentOS with PHP5 as an Apache Module. This suits me just fine for development, but now I want to setup a web server that runs PHP 4.4.8 and PHP 5.2.5 and offer hosting to people. I know PHP4 is very old, but I am looking to offer my users the freedom of choice, as there are still third party applications out there that may need to be run on PHP4.
I will want PHP 5 to be the default, and allow PHP 4 to be used if either the file extension is .php4, or they have a line in their .htaccess file. I have seen various tutorials in search engine results saying to run both, I can either do one of the following:
1. Install PHP5 as a module, and run PHP4 using FastCGI
2. Install PHP5 and PHP4 and run both using FastCGI
3. Install PHP4 as a module, and run PHP5 using FastCGI
In the future I will also be looking to support PHP6 once a stable version has been released, though that will probably be optional to begin with and require a line in the .htaccess file too - like PHP4. I will be using Apache 2.2.8 on CentOS 5.1. I am also looking to install Ruby on Rails and Django too, which I think use FastCGI.
What's the difference between running as an Apache Module, or using FastCGI? This will be for a shared hosting environment so performance over lots of connections, stability and security are my concerns. Should I run everything using FastCGI, if not, would the default PHP version be better off installed as an Apache Module?
How to be able to fix my problem that is related to the https using apache2 (enabling https in apache2) at opensuse:
By the way, my opensuse version is:
openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)
VERSION = 12.1
CODENAME = Asparagus
1) At the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-ssl.conf, and if I do not have a name (as the server will be accessed using its IP address), can I place in the ServerName 192.168.0.5? Do I have to place it 192.168.0.5:443 or it is enough to be 192.168.0.5?
2) Is there a relation between the SSLCipherSuite values and the used method to generate the certificate?
3) I am afraid from the way that I am using to generate the certificate and the ssl module that is coming with apache2 at my machine which has opensuse. How can I select the right way?
Actually I used following commands to generate the .crt, .key and the .csr:
openssl genrsa -des3
openssl req -new -x509
openssl x509 -req
And that was from this link: [URL] .... But did not work with me !
Meanwhile I am placing:
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
4) Do I have to configure the virualhost? Do I have to create files under the directory /etc/apache2/vhosts.d? Because I will have one application to be browsed .. nothing more.

We're kind of cautios, because we have never updated Apache on our live server. We'd prefer if we could download and install just the httpd-devel module. Is this possible?
If not, would this mess up any of our existing configuration? Could we expect any problems? And do we need to shut Apache down, then run the updates and only then restart it?

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?
installing PHP fastcgi on my Centos VPS. I have already Googled for this and tried most of the tutorials but nothing seems to work.
I have already compiled PHP with --enabled-fastcgi. What I ca't figure out is what to put in my .htaccess file.
Almost every tutorial on this compes up with a different way and none of these seem to work for me.
what do you prefer?
fastcgi or suphp?
which one is better with suexec (in security and resource usage)?
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) ?
Should we not be using PHPSuExec with FastCGI?

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust moved to a 1and1 managed server in which FastCGI is enabled.
But I'm having problems getting Movable Type to run under fastcgi - which has never been a problem before, even on shared hosts.
Is there a 'hello world'-type test for fastcgi - so I can check if it is enabled?
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.
