php-cgi.exe quits after exactly 500 hits

Question

For the life of me, I can\'t figure this out.

This is my development machine setup:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit,
Webserver: NGINX 1.3.6 c:\\users\\user

Answer 1

The selected answer works, but doesn't allow the CGI server to shut down every so often (after 500 hits in the OPs case).

Like the OP and others mentioned, this shutdown is necessary in a production environment to curtail memory leaks.

In Windows, another solution is to create a batch file that looks like this:

:start
    php-cgi -b 127.0.0.1:9000
    goto start

This will allow the shutdown that was designed to occur, and will almost immediately start php-cgi again.
