nginx + proxy pas - 504 gateway timeout , timeout after 1min, 30 sec. Tried proxy_read_timeout but no luck

Question

here is my config :

location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8003/;
    proxy_connect_timeout 3600s;
    send_timeout 3600s;
    proxy_read_timeout 3600s;
    include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
}

But, I am getting 504 Gateway Timeout error after 1min 30 seconds . But not according to my above configurations, whats the reason ? How can i make it work for more seconds .

may be you miss proxy_send_timeout see http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpProxyModule#proxy_send_timeout and http://www.nginxtips.com/504-gateway-time-out-using-nginx/ — , Aug 20 '13 at 09:34

I know OP has probably long moved on from this question, but the timeout settings should be in the server or http block not in the location block. Example:

server {
    proxy_connect_timeout 3600s;
    send_timeout 3600s;
    proxy_read_timeout 3600s;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8003/;
        include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
    }
}

IN CASE there's a NAT gateway between your NGINX instance & the destination (proxy_pass), this answer may help.
