When are the fcgi processes restarted

Re: When are the fcgi processes restarted (fwd)

in your config, "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "1000" shows that each FCGI process 
should quit after 1000 requests. if there's a memory leak in php, or any of 
it's used modules, php can start eating up your memory (until you don't limit 
it with ulimit but that's another story).

try lowering this number to 100 or lower, so the processes will quit and 
restart earlier.

Re: When are the fcgi processes restarted (fwd)

There shouldn't be, but it depends. If you have a heavy loaded site, try 
raising PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN, so more processes will spawn (that means also 
more parallel processing).

If php binary is in the kernel cache, launching a php process should not 
cause an overhead with all its initializations.

The overhead in php is mostly the interpreting time of the php scripts. 
You can speed up that using a bytecode compiler and cacher, like 
eaccelerator, turck mmcache and stuff like that.

Lighty for webhosting

Hi!

I want to replace a webserver with a new one using lighty. But our 
customers use different CMS which need different rewrite rules and HTTP 
authorization configurations. As fas as I know lighty is not able to use 
.htaccess files.

By now, I know solutions how to run typo3 or joomla on a lighty 
installation, but I don't know any universal solution which works for 
every CMS that would also work under apache (*1). How do you solve this 
problem?

Cheers Stefan

(*1): Some customers have self written CMS and so I don't want to make 
configuration files for each CMS by hand

Re: unsubscribe

Re: Graceful Restart

I guess there's no way. Sending SIGHUP only rotates logfiles.
