Changing PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS

Question

I cannot find the location of the conf file where I can change the value of PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS. Info about the system: Debian, php7, FAST-CGI, Apache 2.4, Plesk Onyx 17.

There are similar questions on the web, but none of the answers helped me to solve the issue.

I set FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess 1500 so I need to change the value of PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS, as well.

The output of plesk bin php_handler --list

do you have FastCgiExternalServer in your Apache config? How do you start the fastcgi server? — Luca Gibelli, Mar 27 '18 at 01:31
How to check if I have or not? I could not find FastCgiExternalServer inside apache.conf and 000-default.conf. I chose fastcgi in php settings in plesk panel. — Ulugbek, Mar 28 '18 at 06:11
I had missed the 'plesk' bit. Can you post the output of: plesk bin php_handler --list — Luca Gibelli, Mar 28 '18 at 10:05
if the answer solved your problem please accept it. If it didn't please provide more details. — Luca Gibelli, Mar 30 '18 at 19:49

You can just add:

FcgidInitialEnv PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS 1500

before FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess 1500.

That will set the environment variable PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS to 1500 before loading mod_fcgid.
