How to increase maximum execution time?

[anantagati]

I am trying to increase maximum execution time, but it Nginx always shows:
504 Gateway Time-out

I tried to increase time in php.ini, also in index.php by setting set_time_limit(0);

I also changed send_time and in nginx.conf, but nothing helps and after 60 seconds of running script it always writes error 502.

How can I increase execution time to not get errors?

You have something terribly wrong if you need to raise this limit. Anyway, you can change it in /opt/etc/php-fpm.conf.

It is not live site. I need it if I want to use Drupal to process large file. Or when I debug code with xdebug 60 seconds is not enough for me.

What settings I have to change in php-fpm.conf? There is nothing close to 60s now. I tried to change request_terminate_timeout which was 180s, but it didn't help.

request_terminate_timeout is the only setting there causing php process killed, but there are also max_execution_time and max_input_time in the /opt/etc/php.ini, both set to 180. Another reason can be a mysql timeout. Check our value in /etc/mysql/my.cnf. By default there is connect_timeout set to 60s and wait_timeout to 300s.

Nothing helped until I added following values into /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

fastcgi_send_timeout 1800;
fastcgi_read_timeout 1800;
fastcgi_connect_timeout 1800;


(It is not live site, such high execution time is needed mainly for xdebug sessions, where I study what is happening.)

Just for reference for any googlers, I had to import a large db using backup_migrate on one of our sites and couldn't accomplish it because of 504 timeout errors.

the settings I had to change to accomplish this were the ones described on the above comment, only now they are on /etc/nginx/conf.d/aegir.conf

It is a better idea to import database on command line, because there is no Nginx involved then, and you could use either mysql directly or via drush, because php-cli has higher timeout limit - up to 15 minutes.

that's good :)
