This is a guide on how to increase the PHP execution time for php-fpm on nginx.

• Change max execution time limit in the main PHP config from the default 30 seconds to 300 seconds.
  

  vi /usr/local/etc/php.ini
  

  • And set:
    

    max_execution_time = 300
    

• Edit the php-fpm config:
  

  vi /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf
  

  • And set:
    

    request_terminate_timeout = 300
    

    
    NOTE: If request_terminate_timeout is commented out, this value will be taken from the max_execution_time in the php.ini file.

• To increase the time limit for www.example.com by:
  

  vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/www.example.com.conf
  

  • And add the fastcgi_read_timeout 300 statement:
    

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 300; 
    }
    

• And restart nginx and php-fpm:
  

  service nginx restart
  service php-fpm restart
