I just switch between apache to ngix, after set it up everything ( the  
php and ngix ) everything is fine but only after certain amount of time  
i got 504 gateway time-out.

Form the error log i got is :

"2010/05/14 23:50:38 [error] 5024#4444: \*1985 upstream timed out (10060:  
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly  
respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because  
connected host has failed to respond) while connecting to upstream,  
client : … "

I have been using the search here to find what will be the problem but  
most of the reply here is about increasing the

- max\_execution\_time
- fastcgi\_read\_timeout

from the task manager i can see php-cgi.exe were not there when the web  
got the 504 error. It seems been kill by something. I really think it is  
about the php.ini problems. For the time being i just increase the  
fastcgi\_read\_timeout to higher value because i do not know why does this  
happens.

Below is my nginx config. :

#user nobody;  
worker\_processes 1;

#error\_log logs/error.log;  
#error\_log logs/error.log notice;  
#error\_log logs/error.log info;

#pid logs/nginx.pid;

events {  
worker\_connections 1024;  
}

http {  
include mime.types;  
default\_type application/octet-stream;

```

# '$status $body\_bytes\_sent “$http\_referer” ’
