I'm running a rails3.0.7 project with phusion-passenger on nginx. While I was doing a ajax which took about 15 mins to process. It jump up an error with firebug which said "504 Gateway Time-out" after 10 mins from calling the ajax.

Could someon give me some idea of how I could find the problem.

Thanks, ben

That's an nginx timeout error. Look at the following article for some clues as to which parameter you need to adjust to avoid the timeout, if you really want to allow more than 10 minutes to complete the task.
