Hi, I have the following arrangement: Apache 2.2.8 Fcgi 2.3.4 mono 2.4.2.3 with a mysql database (v 5.0) at the back. All works fine. However I throw a load tester (OpenSTA: 5 virtual users + 1000 iterations) at the front web page which has no SQL calls in it but is created through ASP.NET and things start to die. I find that after about 2000 requests it just dies for about 30 seconds and then resumes for about another 2000 requests (remember, there are no database accesses at all during this - its just an ASP.NET webpage). During this process we see Mono go defunct in 'top' and also a huge number of socket files (fcgid.7044.50) opening and closing. When FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess is less than about 1000 we do not get this hanging We temporarily subsituted PhP for Mono and do not get any of these problems. Also the number of socket-files under lsof stays at a more sensible looking 102 during the whole process. Does anyone have any ideas why we are experiencing this stalling with fcgi/mono please?
