3. Register PHP to FastCGI
Cscript fcgiconfig. js-add-section: "PHP"-extension: php-path: "C: PHPphp-cgi.exe"

4. Perform some performance and security settings
C: PHPphp. ini-recommended to C: PHPphp. ini
Open C: PHPphp. ini and modify:
Extension_dir = "C: PHPext"
Fastcgi. impersonate = 1
Cgi. fix_pathinfo = 1
Cgi. force_redirect = 0
Run:
Cscript fcgiconfig. js-set-section: "PHP"-InstanceMaxRequests: 10000
Cscript fcgiconfig. js-set-section: "PHP"-EnvironmentVars: PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS: 10000
You can set the maximum pool and number of response connections based on your hardware configuration and usage.
