note 118534 added to install.windows.iis7

I want to share the solution to a problem I wasted a couple of hours on: I have some scripts that run for several minutes, they calculate lots of things. I got an error 500. The reason is not the PHP-time-limit, but the timeout of the IIS-FastCGI-setting. Unfortunately I have the German version, I guess the setting translates to "activity timeout" and "request timeout". Just increase the values. And a 2nd problem: When one of those scripts was running, the server would refuse to process other "quick" scrips at the same time. So normal users would have to wait MINUTES just because a kind of admin-user is running the long script. There is another setting for FastCGI: max number of instances (again, translated!). The setting was 0, which means that IIS decides automatically. Obviously, that was a bad idea. I set it to 4 and now everything is fine. I hope that helps someone. It may sound obvious, but coming from an old ISAPI-installation, those problems where rather new to me. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 212.186.245.194 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/118534 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118534/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118534/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118534/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118534/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118534/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118534/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118534 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/118534 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
