Nginx, 504 Gateway Time-out

[OllyStubbs]

Hi guys,

I am getting the above error on a page that takes longer than 60 seconds to complete, and it throws the 504 gateway time-out error, bang on 60 seconds.

Where can I increase the timeout value in nginx?

Also, when I try to disable nginx, it defaults the virtual host for the sites to /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs.

Any idea's greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Possible reason of error 504 - executable script does not fit in the allotted time limit. This happens when the script calls to other sites, or just doing a serious operation, for example, is building a search index.
As possible solution you can increase the value PHP max_execution_time or facilitate script.

Thanks for your reply, That's already set to 600 seconds,

I forgot to paste the error that is written to the log /var/log/nginx/error.log
2012/10/08 23:47:34 [error] 17090#0: *1 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: <My IP>, server: , request: "GET /sync/sync_tables_dump.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:7080/sync/sync_tables_dump.php", host: "domain"

Hope you can help.

I have exactly the same error.
I googled it and I always come up with four parameters of nginx, which affect fastcgi sites too, and need to be altered.
They are:
client_header_timeout, client_body_timeout, send_timeout and fastcgi_read_timeout.

I cannot find those parameters in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.
Where should I add/alter those parameters?

In the 'server' section if config.

Hi,

same problem here.

Where do i have to enter these values?

In the ngnix.conf looks like this:


/etc/ngnix/ngnix.conf

#user nginx;
worker_processes 1;

#error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
#error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;
#error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info;

#pid /var/run/nginx.pid;


events {
worker_connections 1024;
}


http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

#log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
# '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
# '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

#access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;

sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;

#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
#tcp_nodelay on;

#gzip on;
#gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";

server_tokens off;

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}

Best regards

Solution

Hi,

I found the solution @huschi

Hi,

I found the solution @huschi

http://www.huschi.info/archiv/plesk-nginx-504-gateway-time-out.html

This article is right if you want to put them in the configuration of each virtual host.

I have easier solution which has the same result.
I read nginx documentation and it says that those parameters can be set in the 'http' section of config too.

Also, in the 'http' section of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf there is the line:

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

So, you may just create a .conf file in the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ folder with the desired values of those parameters.
Restart nginx and they will be applied to all virtual hosts.

A resume of the solution could it be possible please?

I have this sometimes (strange cause nginx is activated but not used, i use apache instead, but i have this bug.)

Same problem

Also, when I try to disable nginx, it defaults the virtual host for the sites to /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs.

And this is not normal. same report.

[GiorgosI]

Have you tried the solutions provided above?
Edit your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and alter those parameters in the 'http' section (set timeouts according to your needs):
send_timeout 120;
proxy_read_timeout 120;
proxy_connect_timeout 120;

If they are not there you may add them or create a .conf file in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ folder with those values.
Then restart nginx:
# /etc/init.d/nginx restart

hello giorgos i will try - thank you for the clarification
;-)

 

[MisterU]

noname1,

You could setup php max_execution_time setting in Plesk (subscription level). Plesk automagically set the same value for nginx and fastcgi corresponding timeouts so you don't need additional actions with configuration files.

 

[noname1]

hello SergeyUgdyzhekov - thank you for response - can you tell the right time to add here - for example the time 3600 it is correct ?
also the max_input_time i put it here the same time ?

[PriyanA]

SergeyUgdyzhekov Could you please double check on,

"You could setup php max_execution_time setting in Plesk (subscription level). Plesk automagically set the same value for nginx and fastcgi corresponding timeouts so you don't need additional actions with configuration files. "

set "max_execution_time" in subscription level.

But doesn't seems to work.

First fcgi 45 sec, if i increase it manually via conf file, then nginx Bad gateway after 60 sec.

Could you please advise on this?

Plesk 11.0.9 | CentOS 6.4

 

[MisterU]

PiryanA,

My explanation related to PP11.5

 

[PriyanA]

Thank you very much for your reply SergeyUgdyzhekov

PP11.0.9 | CentOS 6.4

Set max_execution_time 600 ---> | Service Plan > Edit Service Plan > PHP Settings

Set FcgidIOTimeout 600 | /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf

What is the recommended and best way to Set Nginx, 504 Gateway Time-out?

Regards,
PriyanA

 

[MisterU]

PriyanA,

Sure you need set 'proxy_read_timeout' in nginx conf too

 

[PriyanA]

Hi,

But i cant seem to find this "proxy_read_timeout"

All i have is the code below in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

#user  nginx;
worker_processes  1;

#error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;
#error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log  notice;
#error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log  info;

#pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    #log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
    #                  '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
    #                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    #access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    #tcp_nodelay        on;

    #gzip  on;
    #gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";

    server_tokens off;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}

am i looking in the right place?

Thank you
