fastcgi incomplete headers issues - robmorin - 11-09-2007 12:28 AM
I know this has been on here before, but its seems to be a difficult issue to pin down....
I am moving users/websites from vhcs2 over to Omega on a different server, and so far 50% of the sites break due to fastcgi errors problems permissions, whatever....
Is there a way to debug fastcgi to give more info when something does not work.... i always get the same errors, but never know what it might be, sometimes perms , sometimes its something else but the error stays the same.....
[Thu Nov 08 08:35:21 2007] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.146] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/www/fcgi/domain.com/php4-fcgi-starter", referer: http://www.domain.com/index_m.htm
Its driving me nuts....
I have to migrate over 150 websites, so far i have done 8 and 5 of them had issues....
Can someone please let me know if i can do something to increase debugging for errors like these, or explain to me what that error indicates exactly...
here are perms for this site....

I don't think that the incomplete headers issue is related to permissions. I am also getting the incomplete headers error though.
RE: fastcgi incomplete headers issues - ephigenie - 11-09-2007 12:55 AM
pls have a look in your /var/log/apache2/suexec.log.
suexec is very picky about permissions - and those fastcgi problems are mostly because of wrong permissions of starter dirs & files.
One Problem is see is that the starter needs to be readable by www-data to start it.
x alone is not enough AFAIK.
RE: fastcgi incomplete headers issues - robmorin - 11-09-2007 01:13 AM
All i see is this is this in the log
[2007-11-08 09:47:58]: uid: (vu2057/vu2057) gid: (2057/2057) cmd: php4-fcgi-starter
[2007-11-08 09:50:57]: uid: (vu2057/vu2057) gid: (2057/2057) cmd: php4-fcgi-starter
[2007-11-08 09:51:07]: uid: (vu2057/vu2057) gid: (2057/2057) cmd: php4-fcgi-starter
?? anything else?

what happens if you try to exec a php script via
sudo -u vu2057 php4-cgi -f /path/to/your/php/index/or/whatever.php
RE: fastcgi incomplete headers issues - robmorin - 11-09-2007 01:52 AM
BTW i just had a client call up, and he has the same issue where he sees error 500 via his web browser and in the error logs i see the same incomplete headers, however it seems to work sometimes and sometimes not, a refresh will sometimes make it work.... the only thing i see in common with these websites is that they use mysql... one client mentioned that he might think it is a mysql connection problem??? this is just speculation at this point...
OK i ran the sudo command and i see the php file run by... i get no errors or anything.... thats good i hope..
i ran ...
sudo -u vu2055 php4-cgi -f EBLASTS/new_staff_mc/eblast.php
and saw html output from the file... however via the web same thing error 500
Thanks for your help.... anything
else i should do?

RE: fastcgi incomplete headers issues - robmorin - 11-09-2007 03:52 AM
Oddly enough after tweaking mysql like this... some of the errors went away.... however i still have one website that gets this in his gallery2 application... but it only happens once out of 6 or 7 times..
Could it be an eAccelerator thing? i do not think so....
?
Error in apache log file, nothing interesting in suexce.log file
[Thu Nov 08 12:46:09 2007] [error] [client 64.86.63.146] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/www/fcgi/domain.com/php4-fcgi-starter", referer: http://www.domain.com/MD/modules/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=320
Added the 2 below options...
read_buffer_size = 2M
join_buffer_size = 2M
Doubled the 2 below options
query_cache_limit = 2M
query_cache_size = 32M
doubled this
table_cache = 4200
doubled this
max_connections = 200
Any ideas.....

RE: fastcgi incomplete headers issues - ephigenie - 11-09-2007 04:17 AM
if you've heavy traffic sites, it helps to increase the FCGI_CHILDREN in the php[4,5]-fcgi-starter from 2 to something like 4 - or even higher.
In Addition there're quiet a lot options for mod_fastcgi pls use the search function in here - you'll find a lot about that topic ...
RE: fastcgi incomplete headers issues - robmorin - 11-09-2007 04:22 AM
