php-cgi-spawner
php-cgi-spawner is the smallest and easiest application to spawn a multiple php-cgi
processes in Windows for your web server with FastCGI.
- It spawns as many
php-cgi
(x86 or x64) on a single port as you need - It automatically restarts them if they crashed or reached
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS
Basic Usage
If you have the following directory structure:
php-cgi-spawner.exe
php
php-cgi.exe
php.ini
In order to spawn 4 php-cgi
on tcp/9000:
php-cgi-spawner.exe php/php-cgi.exe 9000 4
You may specify a config file explicitly:
php-cgi-spawner.exe "php/php-cgi.exe -c php/php.ini" 9000 4
php-cgi.exe
processes are spawned under the same user that runs php-cgi-spawner.exe
.
Version 1.1
Now you can additionally specify a number of php-cgi
helpers for permanently running php-cgi
processes:
php-cgi-spawner.exe "php/php-cgi.exe -c php/php.ini" 9000 4+16
It means that up to 16 php-cgi
helpers can start automatically when 4 php-cgi
permanents do not handle a temporary server high load.
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS
for php-cgi
helpers can be set in PHP_HELP_MAX_REQUESTS
:
set PHP_HELP_MAX_REQUESTS=100
php-cgi-spawner.exe "php/php-cgi.exe -c php/php.ini" 9000 4+16
You can even do not use permanently running php-cgi
and use just helpers, even with 1 request per helper:
set PHP_HELP_MAX_REQUESTS=1
php-cgi-spawner.exe "php/php-cgi.exe -c php/php.ini" 9000 0+16
But it is recommended to run at least 1 permanent php-cgi
to handle opcache.
Download
Go to release to download pre-built binary.
Build
Go to src directory and run make.bat in a Visual Studio environment.
Notes
- Currently a maximum number of permanently running
php-cgi
processes is 64 because ofMAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS
inWaitForMultipleObjects
. - The number of
php-cgi
helpers does not have such limit.
