mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in handle_request_ipc function

[ylluminate]

I am seeing, for a particular client, a lot of errors like this within the apache error log:

[Mon Dec 30 15:41:42.329886 2013] [:warn] [pid 21043] (104)Connection reset by peer: [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:59131] mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in handle_request_ipc function, referer: [url]http://www.domain.tld/[/url]

I am running fastcgi and have set some options in the apache post config in whm:

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
  FcgidProcessLifeTime 8200
  FcgidIOTimeout 8200
  FcgidConnectTimeout 400
  FcgidMaxRequestLen 1073741824
  FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess 1500
  FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass 100
  FcgidFixPathinfo 1
  FcgidIdleTimeout 900
  FcgidIdleScanInterval 120
  FcgidBusyTimeout 300
  FcgidBusyScanInterval 120
  FcgidErrorScanInterval 9
  FcgidZombieScanInterval 9
</IfModule>

Any ideas as to what may be going on here?

Hello

You may need to increase some of the FCGI configuration values such as MaxRequestsPerProcess in order to prevent this error message from occurring. Note that cPanel does not recommend an FCGI configuration for your PHP handler. FCGI requires fine tuning of mod_fcgid to ensure that the server does not become overloaded with idle PHP processes. Instead, you may want to consider using suPHP or DSO with Mod_Ruid2.

Thank you.
