Possible to use mod_php instead of fast-cgi?

[robmorin]

As for log files in apache error logs i only see this...

[Tue Feb 05 10:46:59 2008] [error] [client 66.249.66.84] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/www/fcgi/domain.com/php4-fcgi-starter"

if i try to locate the same time stamp in the access log i see this

66.249.66.84 - - [05/Feb/2008:10:46:53 -0500] "GET /d/?q=event/2008/03/09/table/all/all HTTP/1.1" 500 1135

This is one example but many times nothing matches up like this example does...

this particular site's php4starter looks like this..

#!/bin/sh

umask 022

PHPRC="/var/www/fcgi/domain.com/php4/"

export PHPRC
PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=8
export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=500
export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS

exec /usr/bin/php4-cgi

I wanted to try to force to use php5, but if i simply replace php4-cgi for php5-cgi the site does not work at all and only shows a blank white page. I tried this with many other sites and i get he same thing... why would it be that i can not force php5?

thanks for all your hep and speedy responses!

if there is something i should be doing to enable more detailed logging or whatever please let me know...

my biggest complainers use Drupal and wordpress, or pretty much any site with a database ... also users of Squirrlmail too.....

Check the Apache Error logs.
Maybe to many unkilled PHP-Process ? To many open files with the Apachelogs ? Not enough fastcgi childrens ?

There are many ways...
