Hello Wade,

How does a FastCGI application detect when the host is terminating the process?

The Docs say:

The FCGI_Accept blocks execution until a client request comes in, and then returns 0.

If there is a system failure, or the system administrator terminates

the process, Accept will return -1

On my Windows IIS system FCGI_Accept() does NOT return anything so my cleanup code never gets executed.

Hello Wade,

I have been trying (hard) to reach you for a while.

Could you take a look at my post please:

Those of us that do NOT use PHP could use a little help configuring FastCGI

Hi All,

Thanks Wadeh for this useful page! without this I think I wouldn't be able to start IIS... What I would like to know is how to run a custom FastCGI application. In my case I'm trying to run IIPImage (http://iipimage.sf.net) but with no results and there is a big lack of documentation on that subject (apart from your blog!)

thank,

Denis

Hi All,

According to the FastCGI specification, the web server should be able to connect to remove FastCGI applications via protocols such as TCP/IP, and be able to forward request to multiple instances of the same application, so that load balancing can be achieved, of course when doing this the web server should be able to do some session affinity magic, does your FastCGI handler offer these functionalities?

Amber, best regards!

A real good coverage for the topic. I love the simplicity and the exhaustive coverage of the topic. It appeared as if reading a story without ever re-reading the stuffs gone by. Well, because i got what i wanted in the very first go. Indeed, an effective writer.

This is awesome, and very useful, insight into FastCGI and how it will work on the millions of Web servers running IIS 5 & 6 - great job Wade!

As long as it was, I can't expect to many more like it of the same length because I have insight into your day-to-day tasks and know you don't have the time. However, I look forward to the opportunity to continue to peak inside that brain of yours and sponge off of it!

Thanks and welcome to blogging!

Thank you very much for the kind words!

I have gone back and added a description for the InstanceMaxRequests setting.

Fantastic blog entry Wade, many thanks! Look forward to more entries in this blog in the future :)

BTW: You didn't describe the InstanceMaxRequests setting, although its easy to work out (max number of requests the process will serve before being recycled).
