Nginx + fastcgi on windows server auto restart (fastcgi_max_request)
To configure Nginx with FastCGI on a Windows server to automatically restart FastCGI processes after a certain number of requests, you can adjust the fastcgi_max_requests
parameter in the Nginx configuration file. Here's how you can do it:
Locate the Nginx configuration file: Open the Nginx configuration file (
nginx.conf
) using a text editor. The default location of the file is typicallyC:\nginx\conf\nginx.conf
, but it may vary depending on your Nginx installation.Find the
location
block for your FastCGI application: Locate thelocation
block in the configuration file that specifies the FastCGI application or script you are using. It should look something like this:nginxlocation /fastcgi {
...
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
...
}
Add the
fastcgi_max_requests
parameter: Inside thelocation
block, add thefastcgi_max_requests
parameter to specify the maximum number of requests a FastCGI process can handle before being automatically restarted. Set the value according to your requirements. For example:nginxlocation /fastcgi {
...
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_max_requests 1000;
...
}
In this example, the FastCGI process will be automatically restarted after handling 1000 requests.
Save the configuration file: Save the changes to the Nginx configuration file.
Restart Nginx: Restart the Nginx server to apply the changes. You can do this by using the command
nginx -s reload
in a command prompt or by restarting the Nginx service in the Windows Services manager.
By setting the fastcgi_max_requests
parameter in the Nginx configuration file, you configure Nginx to automatically restart the FastCGI processes after the specified number of requests. This helps prevent issues related to resource consumption or memory leaks in long-running FastCGI processes.
Please note that the actual configuration and file paths may vary depending on your specific Nginx installation and FastCGI setup. Adjust the configuration file path and parameters as necessary to match your environment.
