Pls try changing your /etc/apache2/mods-available/fastcgi.conf
(or fastcgi_ispcp.conf accordingly)
Find the line with :
FastCgiConfig ...
and comment it out.
the place a new line beyound that with :
Code:
FastCgiConfig -idle-timeout 300 -killInterval 60 -multiThreshold 80 -startDelay 5 -maxClassProcesses 10 -maxProcesses 400 -minProcesses 10 -listen-queue-depth 400 -pass-header HTTP_AUTHORIZATION
maybe this helps.
This are the settings i'm currently using on this server we've had 500's for a long time.
And in addition since the isp-control.net domain is under heavy usage, i set
Code:
PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=15
in my php-fcgi-starter.
Hope that helps.
Disabling fastcgi completely is not an option i would really consider seriously.
Because then there's only little protection left to keep intruders away from accessing data they do not own ...
