I am running performance benchmarks with ab2 on my server and I discovered that fcgid creates much more than FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass. And if I make 15 concurrent requests fcgi starts 15 php processes at the same time without worrying about FcgidSpawnScoreUpLimit! I use mod_fcgid with suexec for php execution (via php-wrapper bash script, which does a lot of magic including execs, chroot and setuid). The configuration (for fcgid 2.3.6 on apache 2.2.15): /etc/apache2/modules.d/20_mod_fcgid.conf: 25: FcgidMinProcessesPerClass 0 26: FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass 10 33: FcgidSpawnScore 10 34: FcgidTerminationScore 20 35: FcgidTimeScore 1 36: FcgidSpawnScoreUpLimit 25 By the way - according to documentation, FcgidMinProcessesPerClass in VirtualHost section shouldn't work. For me, it does (and I'm happy with it :)). --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
