504 Gateway timeout

It is a known issue to many people even those who are not in the programming field. 504 timeout happens when a response for a request has taken longer than expected. There are times that you know and are sure that you need to increase this time. For example if users export a huge excel file as a report. In nginx you can increase this time to what seems to be appropriate from programmer point of view.

In nginx.conf usually in /etc/nginx/ do as follow:

proxy_connect_timeout       600s;
 proxy_send_timeout          600s;
 proxy_read_timeout          600s;
 send_timeout                600s;
