An unknown fastcgi error occurred

I’m running IIS7 on Windows Server 2008 with Plesk 10. I have website under plesk and a site not under plesk and only on IIS. The website under plesk successfully runs php files but the other website gives error:

HTTP Error 500.0 — Internal Server
Error An unknown FastCGI error occured

Module FastCgiModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler PHP5-FastCGI-php
Error Code 0x8007010b
Requested URL http://*.com:80/test.php Physical
Path C:IIS*.comtest.php
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous

PHP5-FastCGI-php is configured exactly like the site under plesk. php-cgi.exe is located at C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskAdditionalPleskPHP5

EDIT:
Here is my php.ini but I don’t get any errors.

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = Off
log_errors = On
error_log = "C:Program Files (x86)...logtest.log"
error_log = syslog

I had the same issue and look for a solution for 2 days. It was trial and error.
The error code was 0x8007010b.
In IIS logs

#Fields: ... sc-status sc-substatus sc-win32-status time-taken
         ... 500       0            267             4

Both error 0x8007010b and 267 (use command NET HELPMSG 267) say that The directory name is invalid.

Solution:

1. Grant full-access to IUSR to:
   • my webapp folder
   • folder containing the executable to be run (in my case python.exe)
2. In IIS go to -> Authentication (double-click it) -> Select Anonymous Authentication (should be Enabled) -> Edit… -> Choose ‘Specific User’ set IUSR
3. Select root IIS (click) -> Authentication (double-click it) -> Select Anonymous Authentication (should be Enabled) -> Edit… -> Choose ‘Specific User’ set IUSR

After doing steps 1-3, Error 500.0 was gone. In my case step 3 was missing. I think it is an important detail to know.

Hope it help!

Try to find more info in logs.
Then try to find all *.log files in your panel’s dir. Those with latest modified time should give a chance.

Logs could be defined not in php.ini only. Try to search for them — not trust any *.ini files

I had the same problem. once i try to get on the phpmyadmin page it gives me the 500 error response. To fix this:

Step 1) you’ve to enable the extensions » extension=php_gd2.dll «, » extension=php_mbstring.dll » , and » extension=php_mysql.dll » in php.ini (in php folder) ( if you did that already then go to step two).

Step 2) create a folder in c: named «temp» and inside that folder create another folder named «phpsessions» , after doing so go to php.ini (in php folder) and look for «session.save_path»
and replace whatever between the quotation mark with the location of the php session you created i.e. «C:tempphpsessions» and don’t forget to uncomment it ;

Good luck to my fellow geeks

This is caused by the lack of the VC9 runtime on your machine. You will need to install VC9 runtime from here.

You’ve missed out a few steps. The error code: 0x800736b1 suggest the DLL is not found. I don’t see anywhere where you’ve entered the environmental settings?

• Launch the registry editor: Start => Run => regedit
• Create a new key named PHP under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE
• Right-click on the newly created key and select New => String Value
• Name the new value IniFilePath and set the value data to C:php
• Click on Start => Settings => Control Panel and double-click the System icon (using the class view).
• Click on the Advanced system settings link from the left column.
• From the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab and then on the Environment — Variables button at the bottom.
• Select the Path variable from the System Variables section and click on Edit. Add c:php to your system path (be sure to include the semi-colon separator).

• After adding this, restart, launch command prompt and type «C:PHP>php –info». This checks if PHP is picked up correctly.

• Test your php script

Depending on which PHP version you download for windows (non-thread-safe 64 bit or 32 bit, V9 or V11 compiled), you will need to also download and install the appropriate Visual C++ redistributable app (V9 or V11).

If you had previously installed the module mapping in IIS for FastCGI, you will need to uninstall it and the CGI Role Service (and reboot). After installing VC9 or VC11, reinstall the CGI Role Service (this will include the FastCGI service), and reinstall the CGI module mapping to point to the path to php-cgi.exe.

Next, append the path with the full executable: e.g. ;C:phpphp-cgi.exe. Be sure to include the parenthesis to distinguish the new entry.

Finally, be sure to set the php.ini values as described above, and also set your date.timezone value. You will find the data.timezone acceptable values here.
