Differences between mod_fastcgi and mod_proxy_fcgi

I found answer on my posting on the nginx forum - http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,127854

The answer, in my case, is to set:

request_terminate_timeout=30s

in php-fpm config (usually /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf)

Note, you can use values other than 30s also.

I used it to match my value in main php.ini file which is:

max_execution_time = 30

Thanks All. :-)

In your Apache virtualhost directive, you configure a php5 handler,

AddHandler fcgid-script .php
FCGIWrapper /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5 .php
Options ExecCGI

In that instance, the FCGIWrapper entry is the php5 cgi binary. Other examples suggest creating your own script and calling that, having that script set options and in turn calling php.

For example,

FCGIWrapper /usr/local/bin/php .php

If you go with a wrapper script you can set options in that, if you don't (i.e. the first example), then you can set options directly in the Apache config files,

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
 AddHandler    fcgid-script .fcgi
 FcgidConnectTimeout 20
 FcgidIOTimeout              60
 FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess  400
 FcgidIdleTimeout            60
 FcgidMinProcessesPerClass   0
</IfModule>

That's pretty much it for a basic FastCGI config, some of it varies by distribution or if it's self compiled, but the above is the basic necessary stuff.

There appears to be quite an extensive FAQ on something very similar to your query here,
