NGINX: upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream

175 43

I have Puma running as the upstream app server and Riak as my background db cluster. When I send a request that map-reduces a chunk of data for about 25K users and returns it from Riak to the app, I get an error in the Nginx log:

upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream

If I query my upstream directly without nginx proxy, with the same request, I get the required data.

The Nginx timeout occurs once the proxy is put in.

**nginx.conf**

http {
    keepalive_timeout 10m;
    proxy_connect_timeout  600s;
    proxy_send_timeout  600s;
    proxy_read_timeout  600s;
    fastcgi_send_timeout 600s;
    fastcgi_read_timeout 600s;
    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf;
}

**virtual host conf**

upstream ss_api {
  server 127.0.0.1:3000 max_fails=0  fail_timeout=600;
}

server {
  listen 81;
  server_name xxxxx.com; # change to match your URL

  location / {
    # match the name of upstream directive which is defined above
    proxy_pass http://ss_api; 
    proxy_set_header  Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_cache cloud;
    proxy_cache_valid  200 302  60m;
    proxy_cache_valid  404      1m;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_authorization;
    proxy_cache_bypass http://ss_api/account/;
    add_header X-Cache-Status $upstream_cache_status;
  }
}

Nginx has a bunch of timeout directives. I don’t know if I’m missing something important. Any help would be highly appreciated….
