Server outage keeps occuring - lots of php-cgi processes ?

Hi Guys, can anyone answer this, my server stops responding to http requests after a number of hours. Everything seems to be up, but there seems to be a lot...

PaulK

Well in a way I guess I'm pleased that this is a problem that has cropped up before. Just odd that it has started doing it over the weekend.
Any chance of you code Andy?

Remind me tonight and Ill post the code.

Happened again over night, 20 php-cgi processes, then server when down.
Spending a lot of money on SiteUpTime SMS messages :(

Found you code here Andy, looks like you've helped on this before!

Have sent logs and conf to aprelium and switch to std cgi for the time being.
Cheers Paul K

PaulK,
A fix for this problem has been implemented in the coming version 2.4. Switching to CGI is the best solution until we make available the new release.

PaulK

Thanks for the update aprelium :)

There is my code. Simply extract it to a folder you know the name of and then type www.yoururl.com/folder_name_you_chose and it should work.
Remember you need to run Abyss as a service for this to work. Editing to the bat file might be required since mine does php.exe not php-cgi.exe. Might be worth adding both :-)

I could write a PHP CRON program that can be run in the background that
monitors the number of PHP processes running. The function could kill the
PHP processes. Cool Huh? Anyone interested?
Note: This function can kill only a certain anount of PHP processes by
reading the PID from the tasklist command.

That error should be ignored as explained above (turn FastCGI logging off if you do not need it).
By the way, 2.6 has not changed anything regarding FastCGI processing. It is the same module as the one which ships with 2.5.
