Plesk for Windows don't use Apache for client's web sites, IIS used instead.

php.ini files placed in
C:\Windows\php.ini - for PHP 4
%plesk_dir%\Additional\PleskPHP5\php.ini - for PHP 5.2.x
%plesk_dir%\Additional\PleskPHP53\php.ini - for PHP 5.3.x
 
If it was timeout issue

If it was FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout issue and you cannot find a setting for it in IIS even through Plesk Control Panel including php.ini go to command prompt run %windir%\system32\inetsrv

appcmd set config /section:system.webServer/fastCGI /[fullPath='C:\Program%20Files%20(x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP53\php-cgi.exe'].activityTimeout:1800 if you want it to be set at thirty minutes (1800 seconds) other than the default settings.

Note: After you have applied the setting restart the server or IIS.

Additional Notes: If your system is 32 bit rename C:\Program%20Files%20(x86)\ to C:\Program%20Files\ and if you use PHP 5.2.x rename PleskPHP53 to PleskPHP5

Hi,
I have PHP 5.3.10 installed on 2008 64bit. I have parallel plesk 11 as well. I am trying to load driver for SQL into php.ini.
Unfortunately when I look for php.ini, I see several instance of this file:
c:\inetpub\php
c:\progam file \parallels\plesk\additional\PleskPHP5
c:\progam file \parallels\plesk\additional\PleskPHP53
c:\progam file \parallels\plesk\additional\PleskPHP54
c:\progam file \parallels\admin.

I tried to locate the main php.ini with no luck. It is a bit confusing at this point. and when I go to localhost and run phpinfo() I see:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\Windows
BUT there is no php.ini in this dir.
So I am not sure how can i access this phpinfo so i can modify the SQL driver or correct the path.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks
