Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62447&edit=1 ID: 62447 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported by: dave at yougeezer dot co dot uk Summary: FPM, libevent, Windows support -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: FPM related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.4.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: it is not due to libevent, libevent (or similar libs, or using native APIs) are available on Windows. The problem is the core design of FPM, which is based on fork(), which is not available and can't be emulated in a good way on windows. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-29 08:03:59] dave at yougeezer dot co dot uk Description: ------------ From what I understand, FPM isn't currently available for the Windows port of PHP due to it's dependency on libevent. I'm logging this feature request as having FPM available on Windows would be a great boost, especially with the recent release of Apache 2.4, containing a new mod_proxy_fcgi module for its use. If libevent doesn't provide enough cross-platform support to be suitable for the task, perhaps other libraries could be considered to power FPM. For example, Microsoft have worked with nodejs to help produce "libuv" which they call a "BSD-licensed, minimal, high-performance, cross-platform networking library". https://github.com/joyent/libuv/ It appears to put a lot of effort into Windows networking and then taking advantage of the libev and libeio libraries for supporting other operating systems. Some developers have already started trying to make use of libuv in PHP... http://chobie.net/article/2012/06/02/235433 https://github.com/bnoordhuis/phode Test script: --------------- Unable to test, no FPM support exists for Windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62447&edit=1
