Problems running PHP as a separate FastCGI process
Posted by stephan in Technology, observations, sysadmin on April 1, 2009
As some of you might have noticed this webserver has not been that responsive in the past few hours and I have been working hard on getting that fixed. I finally identified the problem and was able to fix it.
The root of the problem was my setup running PHP as a separate FastCGI process. Unfortunatly it seems as if PHP can only handle 500 requests per FastCGI process and then seems to lock up.
The old setup of this site didn’t cause such problems and it seems the problem lies in not setting the PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN and PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS environment variables with the new setup.

I just wanted to let you know that this blog (actually all webpages I am hosting) are now accessiable via IPv6. Additionally, my mail-server now also accepts IPv6 SMTP and IMAP connections, allowing communication with the IPv6-world.
The setup uses SiXXs as tunnelbroker, with AMIS being the SiXXs PoP in use.
If you experience any problems with the services I am providing via IPv6, please let me know, either via a comment to this article or an email to ipv6@sp-its.at.
