I am running Django, FastCGI, and Nginx. I am creating an api of sorts that where someone can send some data via XML which I will process and then return some status codes for each node that was sent over.
The problem is that Nginx will throw a 504 Gateway Time-out if I take too long to process the XML -- I think longer than 60 seconds.
So I would like to set up Nginx so that if any requests matching the location /api will not time out for 120 seconds. What setting will accomplish that.
What I have so far is:
# Handles all api calls
location ^~ /api/ {
proxy_read_timeout 120;
proxy_connect_timeout 120;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8080;
}
Edit: What I have is not working :)
Proxy timeouts are well, for proxies, not for FastCGI...
The directives that affect FastCGI timeouts are client_header_timeout
, client_body_timeout
and send_timeout
.
Edit: Considering what's found on nginx wiki, the send_timeout directive is responsible for setting general timeout of response (which was bit misleading). For FastCGI there's fastcgi_read_timeout
which is affecting the fastcgi process response timeout.
HTH.
