Tech Tip: PHP Error: FastCGI has stopped working
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 18 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: May 20, 2020

If an error appears when calling PHP Execute that reads, "FastCGI client error in context", or like the image shown below, it may be caused by a databse version upgrade. v17R.x and above uses PHP 7 while v17.x uses PHP 5. The 64 bit version of PHP 7 has the gd library embedded. If the databse has recently been upgraded before experienceing this error, it may be necessary to remove the line: "extension=php_gd2.dll" from the php.ini file located in the Resouces folder. Some OS versions may be stricter with invalid DLLs than others.



Note: php.ini has been automatically created since v13.
