That thread has info related to that: https://caddy.community/t/fix-php-cgi-exe-quits-after-exactly-500-hits-on-windows-or-502-bad-gateway-errors/4787

These details should be pinned or added to the docs. Took me some time to find how to do it and it's a common issue on Windows.

The startup event only gets run at Caddy's startup time. It's not intended for it to keep a process alive. You should wrap your startup script with a simple batch script which can do the job of respawning php-cgi when you need it to, or use nssm (see here: https://github.com/mholt/caddy/wiki/Caddy-as-a-service-examples) to run it as a service to keep it alive.

Next time, please ask on https://caddy.community/ for any usage questions. This is the issues and bugs board.
