Sure, I can. I noticed that more than 300 php-cgi processes burned my CPU. So if there is still more power needed, I use an apache as loadbalancer and 2 to n machines as backend server where I run that setup. And than a second cluster with MySQL servers.

More power needed? More hardware Wink
Indeed upscaling would work, too but vertical scaling means with even more usag you can go some kinda day into the cloud if you software can Wink

Code:

<IfModule fcgid_module>
   FcgidInitialEnv PHPRC "C:\\php-5.4.7-Win32-VC9-x86"
   FcgidInitialEnv PATH "C:\php-5.4.7-Win32-VC9-x86;C:\\WINDOWS\\system32;C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\Wbem;"
   FcgidInitialEnv SystemRoot "C:\\Windows"
   FcgidInitialEnv SystemDrive "C:"
   FcgidInitialEnv TEMP "C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP"
   FcgidInitialEnv TMP "C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP"
   FcgidInitialEnv windir "C:\\WINDOWS"
   FcgidIOTimeout 40
   FcgidConnectTimeout 10
   
   FcgidMaxProcesses 300
   FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass 300
   
   FcgidOutputBufferSize 64
   ProcessLifeTime 0
   FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess 0
   FcgidMinProcessesPerClass 0
   FcgidFixPathinfo 1
   FcgidProcessLifeTime 0
   FcgidZombieScanInterval 20
   FcgidMaxRequestLen 536870912
   FcgidIOTimeout 120
   FcgidTimeScore 3

   <Files ~ "\.php$">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
      AddHandler fcgid-script .php
      FcgidWrapper "C:/php-5.4.7-Win32-VC9-x86/php-cgi.exe" .php
   </Files>
</IfModule>

There are two directives to define the same item.
FcgidIOTimeout 40
FcgidIOTimeout 120
Which one is the right one? Smile

And,how about your system resources?Two cores,8 GB RAM? Smile

The 40 seconds is the right one.

It is 4 cores, 8 GB Ram, 80 GB SATA 15k rpm
The performance depends on what software / PHP scripts are running.

You mean PHP in 32 bit / 64 bit or apache and the module? When it comes to PHP use the 32 bit variant. It is offical supported and runs a very litte faster than the 64 bit version.

I mean the officeal php in 32bit.I know there is no offical 64bit php version.

There is no meaning if php 32bit is a little faster than 64bit php.So,no waste time to search or compile offical php32bit to php64bit. Right? Smile

The php binaries from windows.php.net are compiled under the best condition unless you you need an exotic php extension. Yes why waste time with compiling it yourself or search for it.

In the above fcgid config you have the following line
FcgidInitialEnv PATH "C:\php-5.4.7-Win32-VC9-x86;C:\\WINDOWS\\system32;C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\Wbem;"

Can you please explain what the following path is C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\Wbem

What about PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS ?

Quote:

But it defaults to 500, doesn't it?
In my environment, I had to set both PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS and FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess to make it go beyond 500 requests.
