mod_fcgid not using multiple php interpreters for concurrent requests

Question

I have the following problem with mod_fcgid on apache with php.

Everything runs without any errors but all my requests are processed by one php interpreter, even when I set PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN>1 and there are multiple php interpreters. FcgidMinProccessPerClass also does nothing.

I discovered this using a sleep call into a test script.

Here is my config:

/usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php5

exec /usr/bin/php

/home/usercp/public_html/cgi-bin/php.fcgi

#!/bin/sh
export PHPRC="/home/usercp/public_html/php.ini"
export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=2
export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=10
exec /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php5

/etc/httpd/conf/php.conf

# Fastcgi configuration for PHP5
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess 500
FcgidMinProcessesPerClass 1
FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass 10

OK , config was OK , it was just firefox that queued the requests :D no problem using wget and safari

switched to mod_fastcgi Apache mod_fastcgi
