Timeout Issues with Single php-cgi Process Handling Multiple Requests

[danielchristianschroeter]

Issue Description

When executing multiple concurrent requests, I am encountering timeout issues. It appears that only one php-cgi process is spawned to handle all the requests, which leads to requests being queued and eventually timing out, especially if they are complex or resource-intensive.

Expected Behavior

Ideally, multiple php-cgi processes should be spawned automatically to handle multiple concurrent requests efficiently, preventing timeouts and ensuring better performance.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up WEMP with the default configuration.
2. Execute multiple concurrent requests that require processing by php-cgi. (e.g. curl_setopt)
3. Observe that only one php-cgi process is handling all the requests, leading to timeouts.

Environment

• WEMP version: 0.9.8
• NGINX version: 1.26.0
• PHP version: 8.3.7
• Windows version: 11

Additional Context

This issue does not occur when using Apache, where multiple requests are handled without timeouts. The problem seems specific to how WEMP is managing php-cgi processes under load.

I would appreciate any guidance on how to configure WEMP to spawn multiple php-cgi processes or any other recommended solutions to this problem. I think PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is designed to spawn and manage multiple PHP processes.

Thank you for your assistance! Very great project and a good alternative to XAMPP.
