I am constantly getting 504 gateway errors when my php script needs to run for longer than 60 secs.

I am on media temple on a dedicated server. I have contacted media temple and they have been helpful but none of their suggesion seem to work for me i was told to edit this file.

/etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf

which i have to below

LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>

<IfModule !mod_fastcgi.c>
AddHandler fcgid-script fcg fcgi fpl
</IfModule>

FcgidIPCDir /var/run/mod_fcgid/sock
FcgidProcessTableFile /var/run/mod_fcgid/fcgid_shm
FcgidIdleTimeout 300
FcgidMaxRequestLen 1073741824
FcgidProcessLifeTime 10000
FcgidMaxProcesses 64
FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass 15
FcgidMinProcessesPerClass 0
FcgidConnectTimeout 600
FcgidIOTimeout 600
FcgidInitialEnv RAILS_ENV production
FcgidIdleScanInterval 600

</IfModule>
so i have tried to max everything as much as i can, to test this i am just running the function below.

function test504(){
@set_time_limit(0);
sleep(60);
echo "true";
}
Sleep will work on any value below 60 seconds returning true but on 60 i get 504 gateway error.

my phpinfo(); outputs

max_execution_time 600
max_input_time 180
I have seen a few post on increasing this fastcgi_connect_timeout but have no idea where to find this on media temple.

Can anyone help thanks

UPDATE STILL CANT FIX THIS

after chatting with support i have been told i need to edit nginx.conf ? and was directed to this post http://blog.secaserver.com/2011/10/nginx-gateway-time-out/

cant fine any of the values on my hosting. client_header_timeout client_body_timeout send_timeout fastcgi_read_timeout

my nginx.conf file looks like this

#error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info;

#pid /var/run/nginx.pid;


events {
worker_connections 1024;
}


http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

#log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
# '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
# '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

#access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;

sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 120;
#tcp_nodelay on;

#gzip on;
#gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";

server_tokens off;

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
This is driving me crazy any suggestions ???
