Recently I set up my server to use mod_fcgid with php 5.2.1. I noticed that the ram usage of the server has somewhat increased, when compared as php5 mdule, and the response of the server decreased a bit, is this normal? Is FastCGI safe to run? the php documentation says that fastcgi may be risky.
Please give your opinions and tell me what are some of the disadvatage of running in FastCGI mode... |

Have a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php
It says
--------------
Warning
By using the CGI setup, your server is open to several possible attacks. Please read our CGI security section to learn how to defend yourself from those attacks.
--------------
I also noticed a bunch of error in apache error log:
(620019)APR does not understand this error code: mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in handle_request function
[Sun Mar 25 12:26:00 2007] [warn] mod_fcgid: process 1348 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL
Any idea what they are? Steffen?  |

It's not an issue, mod_fcgid try to stop php process with sending an event first, if php process do not quit in time, mod_fcgid just kill the process. It's OK |
