Today I got 504 Gateway Timeout error while updating my Joomla website and solved this issue by adding “fastcgi_read_timeout 300” into Nginx virtual host:
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/www-shar.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_read_timeout 300;
}
I already had request_terminate_timeout option set to 300s in the pool configuration file:
; The timeout for serving a single request after which the worker process will ; be killed. This option should be used when the 'max_execution_time' ini option ; does not stop script execution for some reason. A value of '0' means 'off'. ; Available units: s(econds)(default), m(inutes), h(ours), or d(ays) ; Default Value: 0 request_terminate_timeout = 300s
But max_execution_time in php.ini was unchanged so it had its default value 30:
; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds ; http://php.net/max-execution-time ; Note: This directive is hardcoded to 0 for the CLI SAPI max_execution_time = 30
There are some manual telling that I should change it as well, but it is not clear is this strictly necessarily and how this option relates to the options described above.
thnx a lot.
