I encountered a problem while setting up a PHP web application on an nginx web server. I managed to find a solution that increases the timeout values.

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

   vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
   

   • 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;

1. Reload Nginx and php5-fpm
   

   service nginx reload
   service php5-fpm reload
   

If the error persists ( which is rare ), consider increasing the values.
