Hi All,

I submitted this originally through the lists but I noticed it did not create a topic here for it. So I am adding it as a topic, I hope this acceptable.

Hi All,

Ok I am having issues with NGINX and it timing out. My scenario is that I am using NGINX as a web server front end for my application. I have two folder being served as alias’s for static content and one location doing a proxy_pass to a java server.

My issue is that on one of the request that goes through the proxy_pass to the local java web server will time out through nginx within 10 minutes. The timeout is a browser timeout. It takes 11-12 minutes to load the page without nginx, so I need nginx to not kill the session until that time has passed. I have tried every timeout setting imaginable that I could find and I still get a browser timeout at 10 minutes. Note this is an SSL connection, the test without nginx in the way was also an SSL connection.

Below are my configs, note all the timeout options have been slowly added over time and lots of testing.....they are not my wanted scenario but I am trying to figure out how this is done.

NGINX.conf

user www-data;
worker_processes 4;

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
worker_connections 1024;
# multi_accept on;
}

http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;

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

sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;

#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 900 900;
client_body_timeout 900;
client_header_timeout 900;
send_timeout 900;


tcp_nodelay on;

gzip on;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css text/javascript image/png image/x-icon application/x-javascript application/xml image/gif;

ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:100k;
ssl_session_timeout 20m;


include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/APP;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}


Any help is greatly appreciated. I wouldn’t even mind if it is possible to disable timeout all together just as a test.

Thanks,
