Nginx: How to increase timeout for Nginx

Nginx timeouts are useful for controlling how long a connection stays open.

Add the following to your location block:

location /<path> {
    proxy_read_timeout 1800;
    proxy_connect_timeout 1800;
    proxy_send_timeout 1800;
    send_timeout 1800;
    fastcgi_read_timeout 1800;
}

Timeout value is in seconds i.e. 1800 seconds.

Verify the Nginx config syntax is correct using:

nginx -t -c nginx.conf

Reload Nginx:

nginx -s reload
