Increase number of PHP FastCGI processes to serve simultaneous requests

Hey again, David.

I’d like to post the answer that previously recommended and confirmed working here for the community to use:

Mac creates PHP children (process) using php-fpm . With Windows, Local create php-cgi.exe instances to emulate php-fpm . This is the first time a user is asking to configure the PHP processes. Therefore, we can’t guarantee this would work properly. This can be configured by doing the following:

  1. Head to %APPDATA%\Roaming\sites.json
  2. You can hack the file into spawning more processes by adding additional (previously unoccupied) ports to the PHP services port array.
  3. Stop the site and restart Local.

Thanks for testing it out!
