Re: php4isapi.dll causes instability in memory

Looks good, although its increment server (2) setting wasn't enough, I kept getting a Server Error, unable to connect to fastcgi server. error. I changed it to (5) and did IISRESET, now I have 5 php.exe processes handling the load, very nice, it seems to work!
