FCGI best settings for optimal performance

[Gene Steinberg]

Since I run FCGI, can you suggest how to "tweak settings," in a way that, for example, a Xeon-based server (two four cores) with 16GB RAM would perform best?

This is my question too, I get Error 500 when I have around 50 visitor at a same time while FCGI is selected I do not have this problem in dso, I have only one domain on My server and I have 2GHz CPU and 4GB RAM,

I found on the web that this setting will tune the FCGI
IdleTimeout 3600
ProcessLifeTime 7200
# MaxProcessCount 1000
DefaultMinClassProcessCount 3
DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 100
IPCConnectTimeout 8
IPCCommTimeout 360
BusyTimeout 300

But I do not know where should I set them.

Thank you for any sort of advice

You could add the entries to /usr/local/apache/conf/php.conf file, which contains the other FCGI directives. If you edit this file, you'll have to ensure the file is not replaced during EasyApache update. You could use a script at /scripts/posteasyapache to simply replace any copy cPanel adds with your own version.

Please note that any time you run either /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf or WHM > Apache Configuration > PHP and SuExec Configuration area, you'll be replacing php.conf file with the cPanel version.

Any thoughts on optimizing for a dual quad-core Xeon 5520 with 16GB RAM?

Peace,

I don't have any suggestions as I don't have sufficient expertise in larger activity machines for FCGI settings. It would be preferable to have someone who is doing FCGI hosting on an active machine respond to optimal settings for that environment.

And maybe a script one could run after an EasyApache update, so the settings aren't lost.

What do you recommend for a large website, I have VPS with 4GB RAM and 2GHz CPU but I always have cpu usage problem, I have only ONE domain on my VPS and I currently use DSO (for PHP) + Nginx (for static Contents) and found dso has better performance but i do not have FTP access because of permission problem. in addition dso behavior is something wired sometime I have 100 CPU usage with few request.

with FCGI and SuPHP the load is extremely high, I want to know what the heavy traffic website do and which web server they choose, Perhaps I should think about LiteSpeed or Something.

Hi

can we add those settings like here
http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/mod_fcgi...em-217742.html


to Main >> Service Configuration >> Apache Configuration >> Include Editor >> Post VirtualHost Include

so we don;t need to rewrite /usr/local/apache/conf/php.conf everytime?

[cPanelTristan]

You could add the settings to that file if you prefer.
