I have an Intranet running XOOPS with 200 or so people using it (Windows 2003 - IIS 6).

Recently I have been recieving this error message..
"Server Error, unable to connect to fastcgi server."
This message will stay for ten minutes or so when eventually everything works again.

Should I setup ISAPI rather than Fast CGI?
I would be really interested in you opinion of what I should do - stick with fast cgi, or setup ISAPI?
Is there anything I should worry about if I do switch?
Thanks again for any advise anyone can offer!

Are you using a PHP accelerator at all?

Hi Bradburn.

If I were you, I'd take a box, stick Gentoo on it and either install Apache2 with mod_php or Lighttpd with fastcgi. You will not regret it

Yes, because a total migration of architecture is a much simpler approach than just addressing the issue at hand ....

Bradburn, I've found the PHP ISAPI (at least for PHP5) to be more CPU resource hungry that FastCGI on IIS. What are your servers major resource usage stats (CPU, RAM, I/O) at the time these FastCGI errors occur?
