Hello,

Nginx is very slow on my server... it takes 10 sec for every page to load!

what can it be? how to fix it?

forget to mention...

i notice that every time I restart php-cgi
[code]
/etc/init.d/php_cgi restart
[/code]

it works faster for a half minute
can it be the php_cgi?

According to your log files it looks like you have entered a restrictive value for time outs, could you provide the rest of your nginx.conf?

You have far too much worker processes, set the amount of worker processes to the amount of cpu cores your web server runs on. To check how many cpu cores you have enter the following comment in your shell:
[code]
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l
[/code]

Next I would recommend to use PHP-FPM if your server is still slow: http://php-fpm.org/Main_Page

I have similar situation and I get almost the same errors in the error_log, although I'm using php-fpm:

[code]
user www-data www-data;
worker_processes 6;

error_log logs/error.log error;

#pid logs/nginx.pid;

fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

}
}

[/code]

The server's CPU has only one core.
I also have set php-fpm max_children to 45.
XCache is installed also with 0.5GB memory set.

My site has many static files as content, I wonder if setting up second nginx as reverse-proxy serving static content and sending dynamic requests to the first one would help improve the speed.

OK, I've installed stub status module (great thing).
This is what I get most of the time:

[code]
Active connections: 51
server accepts handled requests
119 119 619
Reading: 0 Writing: 5 Waiting: 46
[/code]

Isn't there a bit too much waiting connections to the writing ones?

I can't tell you what the output of the stub status module means, never used it.

If your cpu count is only one, only use 1 or 2 worker_processes. Try increasing the worker_connections instead - maybe 2048.

You don't have create a second nginx server or reverse proxy or something, you can tell your existing server that it should deliver static files directly. The following goes into your server { ... } block:
[code]
# that's my rule set if you don't have svg or svgz files, delete it
location ~* ^.+.(bmp|jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|svg|svgz)$ {
access_log off;
expires max;
}
[/code]

I have the same problem too, it even takes more than 15 seconds.

I tried the suggestions here but no luck yet.

[url=http://www.treadmillskiva.com]Eric Deko[/url]

I have the same problem too,

error_log :[b]failed (110: Connection timed out) while connecting to upstream, client:[/b]

nginx.conf such as:
[code]
worker_processes 8;
events {
use epoll;
worker_connections 51200;
}
[/code]

Is i set worker_connections to height???

I have the same problem and it is driving me crazy.

When I reboot, it works super fast for like 30 - 60 sec, then hude delays ...
I think it must be fast cgi but dont' know where it is going wrong.

I'm having a similar issue, on a very high-traffic site, and as best I can tell, FASTCGI doesn't know that PHP has timed out, so it just waits for a response indefinately. These requests then create a long queue, and your requests just get longer and longer.

I've done two things:

1) Reduce the timeout in the FASTCGI_PARAMS
fastcgi_send_timeout 10;
fastcgi_read_timeout 10;

This may kill some connections initially, but then brings the site back to some sane level of performance.

2) Reboot PHP_CGI using cron on an hourly basis.

Best I can do, both are terrible solutions, but they seem to work for now.

Would be great to get some advice from someone who can dig deeper into the issue...

Got the same problem

The problem was with spawn-fcgi(custom build from scratch) , after reinstalling it from distribution everything works just fine.

I have the same problem. Still could not solve.

nginx is coping with its share of connecyions, but the php manager is overloaded.

Raise the resources there.

HTH,
Gerardo

I have the same problem...

This is my config...

user www-data;
worker_processes 2;
worker_rlimit_nofile 10480;

pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
worker_connections 8024;
multi_accept off;
use epoll;
}


http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

#access_log logs/access.log main;

sendfile on;

keepalive_timeout 10;

========================================================================================================

#
# Settings for php-cgi in external FASTCGI Mode
#

# Should php-fastcgi run automatically on startup? (default: no)

START=yes

# Which user runs PHP? (default: www-data)

EXEC_AS_USER=www-data

# Host and TCP port for FASTCGI-Listener (default: localhost:9000)

FCGI_HOST=127.0.0.1
FCGI_PORT=9000

# Environment variables, which are processed by PHP

PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=5
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=1000

=========================================================================================================

Can you tell me how to fix it?

Thanks a lot!!!

Sorry for my bad english...

I have the same problem...
plz help me

nginx for Windows http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/

I am new to Nginx.

I have a brand new installation of Nginx on my Windows Server 2012 R2.

This is a stable Windows version of Nginx from Kevin Worthington, 1.14.0 Release of Nginx for Windows.
Built by Kevin Worthington on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using Cygwin.

At first Nginx was very fast without PHP and MySQL, I was very happy.

But after I installed PHP version 5.6.31 and MySQL version: 8.0.11 I noticed that Nginx is surprisingly slow with PHP scripts.

I have to wait for 1 minute or more to open my website http://tayskaya-kosmetika.ru which is an exact copy of my website https://superbank.ru

The original website https://superbank.ru is hosted on another server running Apache web server and is fully loaded in just 5 seconds.

What is wrong with my Nginx, PHP, MySQL setup?

The logs are attached.

If you need any other logs please let me know.

I am also concerned about the alert in the Nginx Error log:
[alert] 384#0: recvmsg() returned invalid ancillary data level 1 or type 0

What shall I do to fix this problem?

PHP.INI file is here

I want to update my previous post.

It appears that NGINX server is not responsible for this terrible slowness of my website.

I have just switched my website, http://tayskaya-kosmetika.ru , to the integrated IIS server on my VDS hosting Windows Server 2012 R2.

Again it takes about 1 or 2 minutes to open the website. Probably this is the issue with PHP - FastCGI and system resources being limited by the VDS hosting provider. Anyway it is declared as 2 cores of Intel Xeon E5 @ 2.2 GHz with 2 Gb of RAM and 40 Gb SSD disk.
The size of MySQL database is 226 MiB with the total of 2.2 Million rows altogether.

The exact copy of the same website, https://superbank.ru , hosted on a Shared Hosting with another provider is fully loaded in just 5 seconds!

But the hosting provider is complaining that my website is consuming too much MySQL time. That's why I am thinking of VDS /VPS hosting instead of Shared Hosting.

With any cgi application (like php is) you need to create a pool to handle high loads as cgi is considered blocking, for Windows I have created a long time ago a pool configuration of 10 including installation, see sig for details.

Thank you for your advice. I will study this subject.
