Prevent nginx 504 Gateway timeout using PHP set_time_limit()

Question

I am getting 504 timeouts message from nginx when my PHP script is running longer than usual. set_time_limit(0) does not seem to prevent that! Does it not work

Try this link, it has a better solution on how to fix this. So the steps are:

1. Open your nginx.conf file located in /etc/nginx directory.

2. Add this below piece of code under http { section:

   client_header_timeout 3000;
   client_body_timeout 3000;
   fastcgi_read_timeout 3000;
   client_max_body_size 32m;
   fastcgi_buffers 8 128k;
   fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
   

   Note: If its already present , change the values according.

3. Reload Nginx and php5-fpm.

   $ service nginx reload
   $ service php5-fpm reload
   

   If the error persists, consider increasing the values.
