我们在移动工作向一台新的服务器所有星期，并且我们完成了转折。 最好所有，我们中间交换了到新的服务器，不用任何停工期。 我们新的服务器是1.86千兆赫核心2二重奏和与DDR2 RAM 3GB -所有感谢对令人敬畏的人和加仑在 Lunarpages那里最佳的主人是。

很多工作进入这转折希望提高表现-和更加重要地，可靠性-我们的服务器。 在去年(自从我们首先开始了我们主持与LP)，我们从几百万命中去每月许多成千上万，并且我们的老服务器相当采取了命中。 为此，我们集中于部署轻量级和高优化代码所有; 有希望地那儿不会无意想不到的停工期…。

我们的当前软件设定是非常复杂的，但有希望地它一直把我们带对是我们的目标的0.00分钟停工期-! 我们有多种应用软件服务器和节目跑在背景做什么的其中每一好他们-而不是传统有这网服务器做它所有方式。 在，我们当前有一个软件堆栈包括这些产品之时一个tightly-knit滤网：

祝贺是为了微软的IIS开发小组-今天 他们宣布了 IIS-FastCGI ISAPI引伸-一个期待已久和改善的方式的最终版本的公开可及性跑关于任何打开来源写电影脚本的引擎在IIS，安全地和迅速。

这个FastCGI模块为IIS 5.1， 6和7 (用窗口景色和服务器2008)在工作相当一会儿现在和我们使用他们，因为第一Beta发行-他们是好。 While the biggest benefit will be seen in using FastCGI w/ IIS7 to take advantage of the new kernel-mode caching, it’s still a huge improvement over the old way of running scripting engines for languages like PHP on Windows.

The Problem: Most open-source scripting engines like PHP and Ruby on Rails were initially developed on/for the *nix world. On Unix-based platforms, the easiest way of creating multi-threaded applications is just to run the same app twice or more (The CGI model). On Windows, that doesn’t work out so well, because it takes a lot more resources to create another process. So these engines released Windows-specific single-process multi-threaded engines; the only problem was, they weren’t stable. Too many race conditions in some very non-thread-safe code wreaked havoc on many Windows systems, with the PHP developers themselves giving “Stability on IIS” the lowest level of concern.

…

For all the Windows-bound PHP users out there, consider yourselves warned: even if you’re running the (supposedly) thread-safe PHP Win32 binary redistribution, you’re still susceptible to PHP Access Violation Errors, race problems, heap corruption, and much worse if you use the popular eAccelerator opcode-caching extension.

We did our testing with the binaries compiled by SiteBuddy using the latest versions of both PHP and eAccelerator. Almost immediately after initiating a stress test on our test servers we experienced the dreaded “PHP Access Violation” error - which brings down the entire IIS Worker Process to its heels.
