Hello, I have a fairly simple PHP script that I have used in the past, under Apache, to "simulate an HTTP form POST".
For some reason, when I attempt to do the same under nginx, the browser hangs until some timeout is reached, at which point nginx returns a "504 Gateway Timeout" response to the browser. This could very well be a PHP problem (or configuration issue) and have nothing to do with nginx, in which case I am happy to take this discussion to the appropriate list. But this does work as expected under Apache, running PHP as a module. If I enable verbose cURL output in PHP, all of the output is sent to the instance of cmd.exe (the Windows console) in which PHP's "php-cgi.exe" is running. This enables me to see that nginx is indeed handling the request. Here is the output: * About to connect() to ben-pc port 443 (#0) * Trying fe80::1ddc:6806:70b6:8546... * Connection refused * Trying fe80::61f9:7669:a282:252d... * Connection refused * Trying 169.254.37.45... * connected * Connected to ben-pc (169.254.37.45) port 443 (#0) * SSL connection using DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA * Server certificate: * [redacted] * start date: 2013-07-05 18:17:36 GMT * expire date: 2014-07-05 18:17:36 GMT * [redacted] * SSL certificate verify result: self signed certificate (18), continuing anyway. * Server auth using Basic with user 'me' > POST /myproject/trunk/public/jsapi/api-router/ HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Basic [redacted] Host: ben-pc Accept: */* Content-Length: 85 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded * upload completely sent off: 85 out of 85 bytes < HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Time-out < Server: nginx/1.5.2 < Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2013 22:28:06 GMT < Content-Type: text/html < Content-Length: 182 < Connection: keep-alive < * Connection #0 to host ben-pc left intact * Closing connection #0 If I disable verbose cURL output (using curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);) no output is sent to the console, and the same timeout and 504 response occurs. My setup is essentially the same as that described at http://wiki.nginx.org/PHPFastCGIOnWindows . Is there a simple solution to this? I'm surprised by the dearth of search results for "nginx php-cgi curl 504", given that my stack configuration is relatively untouched. I should mention that all other PHP behavior seems normal; the server is definitely "functional" in every other way. I am happy to post details of my nginx installation, PHP configuration, script source code, etc. if any of it would be helpful. Thanks for any pointers, -Ben _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
