FastCGI: Where to put directives?

srmobile · February 17, 2014, 5:43pm

I’ve got my site running FastCGI and I have a need to change some of the default directives.

Example:

FcgidIdleTimeout 40
FcgidProcessLifeTime 30
FcgidMaxProcesses 20

Where do I put these?

I’ve tried adding to the httpd.conf and fcgid.conf but they don’t appear to be taking affect.

Would the above examples appear in a php info file? If so they have not appeared after the changes and restarting httpd.

I should also note that this is on Centos.

Can someone please guide me on what files I need to modify to add some of the example directives above?

Thanks!

Howdy,

On CentOS, you can add those to /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf.

Those should take effect after restarting Apache.

If that doesn’t work – can you paste in your fcgid.conf contents?

However, you also may want to grep through the various Apache config files to make sure those don’t appear elsewhere.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the quick reply!

My fcgid.conf is empty. I added the following at the bottom of my httpd.conf



        FcgidIdleTimeout 3600
        FcgidProcessLifeTime 3600
        FcgidIOTimeout 3600
        FcgidBusyTimeout 3600

It appears to be working but the variables are not showing up in a phpinfo.php file I’ve created. Should these not appear under “cgi-fcgi” ?

Do you recommend I move the above over to the fcgid.conf ? Is the format correct or do I need to drop the ?

Thanks!
