Hi,  
I got this error in log file while running SCGI client in  
address 172.16.8.180 and nginx running on 172.16.8.143.

/Error/: _upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading  
response header from upstream, client: 172.16.8.180, server:  
172.16.8.143, request: “POST / HTTP/1.1”, upstream:  
“scgi://172.16.8.180:9000”, host: “172.16.8.143”_

Please do the needful.

What’s unclear?

nginx was waiting for the scgi server to respond, then nginx gave  
up waiting.

What do your scgi server logs say about this request?

How long do you expect this request take to respond? How long did you  
configure nginx to wait for this request to respond?
