Have u tried mod_php? might be a decent temp workaround.

007007 · Jul 19, 2010

mod_php is suitable for small sites, there's no solution for fast-cgi?

after 30min running the server is down :eek:

(I noticed that these errors / slowdown appear only when it s too much people on the forum => 300 members online or more ...)

What's in /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web5/.php-fcgi-starter? You might have to play around with the settings there.

007007 · Jul 18, 2010

here my file

Code:

#!/bin/sh
PHPRC="/etc/php5/cgi/"
export PHPRC
PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT="/var/www/clients/client3/web5"
export PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT
# The variable PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN is onyl useful for lighty or nginx as apache 
# mod_fcgi will control the number of childs themself and never use the additional processes.
# PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=8
# export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=5000
export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS
exec /usr/bin/php-cgi \
 $1

what do I do please ?

till · Jul 19, 2010

mod_fcgi is controlled by these parameters in the vhost file:

IdleTimeout 3600
ProcessLifeTime 7200
# MaxProcessCount 1000
DefaultMinClassProcessCount 3
DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 100
IPCConnectTimeout 8
IPCCommTimeout 360
BusyTimeout 300

you might have to adjust them to match your installation if you have very high loads. there are a lot of google threads about tuning these parameters if you serach for the error message. e.g.

Hi,

values that the author has proposed is that which is by default !!
This did not work. Eventually we ended up putting the same contents into vhost.conf AND vhost_ssl.conf which appears to have worked. The values we ended up putting in both files were:
Code:
    <IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
    # Sane place to put sockets
    SocketPath /var/lib/httpd/fcgid/sock
    IdleTimeout 3600
    ProcessLifeTime 7200
    MaxProcessCount 1000
    DefaultMinClassProcessCount 3
    DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 100
    IPCConnectTimeout 8
    IPCCommTimeout 600
    BusyTimeout 300
    </IfModule>
Click to expand...
he mentioned 2 files vhost.conf AND vhost_ssl.conf : where are they? but as I said these are the default values ...

till · Jul 19, 2010

Both links work, just click on them. Regarding the file names, the post is not about ispconfig, thats why the named of the files are different. Your vhost file is named /etc/apache2/sites-available/dimadimaraja.info.vhost

007007 · Jul 19, 2010

ok

in the first link that the author has proposed is already in default files ispconfig3 I am wrong?

the 2nd link is blocked in my country, you can give me the solutions they found it please?

till · Jul 19, 2010

There are hundreds of posts about this topic available on google. I've just posted you 2 examples. Pleease click here:

http://www.google.com

and enter this search term:

mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in handle_request function

007007 · Jul 19, 2010

from the 2nd link here is the suggestion:
Code:
BusyTimeout 10800
ProcessLifeTime 10800
IPCConnectTimeout 20
IPCCommTimeout 10800
MaxRequestsPerProcess -1
should increase these values, MaxRequestsPerProcess I do not think it's normal?

I wonder why the server is slow to load, then there's the max it only 300 members online ...

This may have many different reasons incl. mysql configuration etc. Which exact setup and php method have you used before for this site and have you used a php opcode cache?

I meant the configuration that you had before you switched the site to the ispconfig server?

007007 · Jul 19, 2010

ah ok

( dedicated server config : http://www.ovh.co.uk/products/superplan_best_of.xml )

my config before :

my phpinfos : http://www.dimadimaraja.com/pret.php

I noticed a few things:

http://www.dimadimaraja.info/status.php?mysql_info=1
Code:
Max_used_connections:  	114
max_connections:  	151
max_user_connections:  	0
connect_timeout:  	10
it's small no ? these mysql values should not be increased ?

Hi all,

after hours of searching this is what I found:

in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/yoursite.info.vhost

Search and replace
Code:
    <IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
      # SocketPath /tmp/fcgid_sock/
      IdleTimeout 3600
      ProcessLifeTime 7200
      # MaxProcessCount 1000
      DefaultMinClassProcessCount 3
      DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 100
      IPCConnectTimeout 8
      IPCCommTimeout 360
      BusyTimeout 300
    </IfModule>
by
Code:
    <IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
      # SocketPath /tmp/fcgid_sock/
      IdleTimeout 6000
      ProcessLifeTime 10000
      # MaxProcessCount 1000
      DefaultMinClassProcessCount 3
      DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 400
      IPCConnectTimeout 50
      IPCCommTimeout 600
      BusyTimeout 600
    </IfModule>
Just a confirmation from a professional:

MaxRequestsPerProcess -1

does not exist in the config? he should be added ?

Now for mysql configuration :
Code:
Max_used_connections:  	114
max_connections:  	151
max_user_connections:  	0
connect_timeout:  	10
these values should be increased or not ? what do you thinks ?

------------------------
Original idea :
I’m using a global configuration file for the parameterization of mod_fcgid. In my httpd.conf there is an include to a file named php.conf (where the mod_fcgid is loaded and configured). In this last file and after loading the module, I added :
Code:
#Gallery2 Admin Config Begin
BusyTimeout 10800
ProcessLifeTime 10800
IPCConnectTimeout 20
IPCCommTimeout 10800
MaxRequestsPerProcess -1
#Gallery2 Admin Config End
You should notice that you could also tune these parameters for each virtual host separately by simple adding these configuration parameters for each virtual host.

This is a configuration example for keeping the script alive for 10800 seconds, which is equivalent to 3 hours. Perhaps the most determinant values are BusyTimeout, IPCCommTimeout and MaxRequestsPerProcess. I think that ProcessLifeTime could be redundant; I have not yet made the test without it.

BusyTimeout and IPCCommTimeout are both going to determine the execution duration of the task. The one with the lower value will trigger first. BusyTimeout will terminate the script if a single request takes longer than busy timeout. IPCCommTimeout is the communication timeout to a fastcgi application. IPCConnectTimeout will handle the connection timeout only; the execution time does not depend on it.

MaxRequestsPerProcess is the last parameter that got my attention, and the one that finally made things work. This parameter was the responsible for this kill:
Code:
[Thu Oct 09 15:48:20 2008] [warn] mod_fcgid: process 28922 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL 
[Thu Oct 09 15:48:20 2008] [warn] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: read data from fastcgi server error.
 [Thu Oct 09 15:48:20 2008] [warn] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in handle_request function
 [Thu Oct 09 15:48:20 2008] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not exist: /home2/amazeika/public_html/mifondo/gallery2/500.shtml, referer: [url]http://gallery.mifondo.net/main.php?g2_view=core.ItemAdmin&g2_subView=core.ItemEdit&g2_itemId=121100&g2_return=%2Fv%2Fmifondo%2F&g2_returnName=%C3%A1lbum[/url]
By default this parameter is usually set to 500 for a good reason (http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/doc.htm). However, this also means that after 500 requests, the PHP process was condemned to die taking with him my precious gallery2 task. MaxRequestsPerProcess -1 means fastcgi process will not exit no matter how many requests it has handled, which is exactly what we are looking for. However, be aware that PHP errors may arise for new incoming requests when the PHP cleanup is performed, which is by default after 500 requests. This is a known problem caused by a race condition when running PHP in fastcgi mode through mod_fcgi under heavy server loads (http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/doc.htm for more information). This was corrected in mod_fcgid by adding MaxRequestsPerProcess, which by default is set to 500 to match PHP cleanup. This will kill the process after 500 requests, not good for us though. Perhaps changing the default PHP cleanup value to match MaxRequestsPerProcess (big enough) will ensure total stability while using this config.

Anyways, my final advice to you regarding this configuration is to only use it when performing heavy administrative and maintenance tasks. By default, MaxRequestsPerProcess 500 will ensure proper functioning of PHP in fastcgi mode at all times. It is also wiser to limit the execution time of scripts.

Notice that in my case, I always lost connection with the browser. However, tasks keep running in the background and get the job done.

I hope this thread will help some of you, as for me, it represents the solution to the only problem that I wasn’t able to deal with. I thank the developers for this magnificent piece of art. Excellent work !!!.

Thank you nivekiam and floridave for all your support and for following this thread with interest. Thank you guys.

If someone find that any of the information in this post is incorrect, please do not hesitate to point it out. As I said earlier, this is all new stuff for me, and it's my interpretation from all that I have learned this last week.

Increasing the IPCCommTimeout within the vhost directive solved the following error for me:

[Tue Jan 22 17:36:41 2008] [warn] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds
[Tue Jan 22 17:36:41 2008] [error] [client 10.20.30.40] Premature end of script headers: index.php

sometimes this errors are caused by bots (baidu, google)

I think I found where is the problem, the configuration of my server:

Intel (R) Celeron (R) CPU 1.80GHz
RAM: 2GB

I'll get another server: Kimsufi 750G
