Re: [MAPSERVER-USERS] FastCGI on IIS6 - how to test ?
Guys, please (!!!) post here a kind of step-by-step instructions - how to setup mapserv fcgi (with module from iis.net) on iis6. I tried to do it but without success. With http://www.caraveo.com/fastcgi/ mapserv works but not very well. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FastCGI-on-IIS6---how-to-test---tp18995376p19010517.html Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [MAPSERVER-USERS] FastCGI on IIS6 - how to test ?
Hi, I'd be happy to post what I did - but I'm not yet sure that its actually working - hence this post - I'd like some way of testing before I start posting incorrect instructions ... I've not used to FastGIS so I'm not really sure what I should be looking for On Sat, Aug 16, 2008 at 11:56 AM, BrainDrain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Guys, please (!!!) post here a kind of step-by-step instructions - how to setup mapserv fcgi (with module from iis.net) on iis6.

look at the isapi filters section in inetmgr - iis shows if your dll already loaded (after some map request of course) James Perrins-2 wrote: Hi, I'd be happy to post what I did - but I'm not yet sure that its actually working - hence this post - I'd like some way of testing before I start posting incorrect instructions ...

Re: [mapserver-users] FastCGI on IIS6 - how to test ?
Hi James, I already did many tests a couple of months ago to see if fastCGI was worth the efforts, and as soon as it worked, I noticed a good difference of performances. The map loaded much faster. At the bottom left of my internet browser, files transfered from the server were downloaded much faster in fastCGI mode than normal. But I also did real actual tests using a small application called http_load, you can get it at : http://www.acme.com/software/http_load/ Well, maybe Jeff McKenna knows a better way to do it... I definitively noticed a difference in performance between normal CGI and fastCGI. Try to make a file containing url of a GetMap request and test it with http_load with normal CGI and fastCGI configurations to see the difference. To disable fastCGI, add quotes to your httpd.conf where the module is loaded : #LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so This should be enough to disable it without problems. Then restart Apache. You can also see which modules are currently loaded with : go to -- /ms4w/Apache/bin type the following -- httpd -t -D DUMP_MODULES and see if your fastCGI module is there or not. A tip : when you start/restart/stop apache, be sure do it in a command window and not by clicking on the .bat file in windows mode. That way, you will be able to see if there is any error message.

I am using the latest mapserv build from MS4W - which has fastcgi enabled I seem to have it all up and running (in that if a alter Microsoft configuration it stops working!) But how do I test if its really working as it should - and giving me the supposed benefits. In task manager - I still see lots of mapserv processes appearing and disappearing - belonging to IIS_USR - but there is a mapserv process that hangs around for quite a while belonging to NETWORK_SERVICES - which I didn't used to have. Is there any easy way to test this - other than just under heavy loading conditions ??
