504 error Gateway Timeout

Server NGINX
1

HI;

I’m using Nginx in a reverse proxy setup with Apache. I’m having a
problem when I submit a large upload via php; while Mogrify is
processing the photo upload, Nginx returns a 504 error - Gateway
Timeout.

I tried adding in proxy_read_timeout 600; proxy_send_timeout 600;, but
I am still having the same problem.

I’ve searched for answers for quite a few hours now, and am at a loss.
All of my PHP memory and time out settings are quite high.

It works when I do smaller uploads. It is the ones that take Mogrify
more than about 60 to 90 seconds to process that cause the error.
(uploads of over about 50 MB of images).

I was able to upload / process with this system prior to installing
Nginx. Please let me know if you want to see a copy of my config file
or any other information.

Thank You Kindly;

Jamie

Thank You. This is my config file:

http {

proxy_read_timeout 600;
proxy_send_timeout 600;

server_name_in_redirect off;
server_names_hash_max_size 2048;
server_names_hash_bucket_size 256;

I added the above proxy read and proxy send lines. I had just
reinstalled this morning after doing some testing and accidentally
sent you the file without those added.

Thanks,

Jamie

Fine. But please note, this is only part of configuration. There are
some files regarding to directive:
/etc/nginx/vhosts/*

Please include them also.

maybe is apache or php close the connection, for example exceed php max
file upload size or php max running time.

This is the vhost file for the site I am working on:

Hi guys,

I have the exactly same issue.
What about include proxy.inc ?

Those are my values :
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;

Use it with Magento on a VPS and always need to restart APACHE

Thanks for the help,

Antoine
