# wordpress and some fastcgi problems

 * Today I noticed that I cannot save any posts on one of the wordpress installs
   I run on my server.
    I did a couple of tests and found out: I can save pages 
   and “simple” posts. Simple as in not many categories and taxonomies involved.
   tested a few wordpress isntalls, and the new ones, could save posts just fine,
   the more elaborate ones, i.e. can’t. The saving simply times out in the browser.
 * Checked my server logs and found this:
 * `62.159.242.113 - - [22/Mar/2012:14:46:34 +0100] "POST /wp-admin/post.php HTTP/
   1.1" 500 829 "http://www.premaman.co.za/wp-admin/post.php?post=146&action=edit""
   Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_3) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like
   Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.109 Safari/535.19"`
 * which seems to be a server 500 error and
 * `(70007)The timeout specified has expired: mod_fcgid: can't get data from http
   client`
    this seems to be a fast_CGI timeout error but which value to raise?
 * found these possible ones:
 *     ```
       <tmpl_if name='fastcgi_config_syntax' op='==' value='2'>
               FcgidIdleTimeout 300
               FcgidProcessLifeTime 3600
               # FcgidMaxProcesses 1000
               FcgidMinProcessesPerClass 0
               FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass 100
               FcgidConnectTimeout 30
               FcgidIOTimeout 360
               FcgidBusyTimeout 300
               FcgidMaxRequestLen 1073741824
       <tmpl_else>
               IdleTimeout 300
               ProcessLifeTime 3600
               # MaxProcessCount 1000
               DefaultMinClassProcessCount 0
               DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 100
               IPCConnectTimeout 30
               IPCCommTimeout 360
               BusyTimeout 300
       </tmpl_if>
       ```
   
 * this is the template my control panel uses for new vhosts.
    any other ideas what
   logs to check or how to get more info?

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress.

 * thanks esmi, but I am pretty sure its a server related problem since I didn’t
   upgrade any wordpress installs recently and it happens on all (about 5 wordpress
   installs I host on this server) and all were fine until about a day ago…
 * Just wanted to bring it up here, since googling doesn’t really bring up anything
   useful.
    some other oak had a similar problem with drupal 🙁
