Timeouts can be a real headache, especially when you’re not sure where the problem lies. But don’t worry, you’re not alone. Let’s dive into how to debug this issue.
Let’s 🚀
Identifying the Culprit
Understand the Error Message
The first clue is always in the error message.
Google it to get more insights.
Time the Timeout
Use a stopwatch to pinpoint when the timeout occurs.
This will help you identify which component is responsible.
Making the Fixes
I’ve listed some common timeout configs. See if they match the error message or the duration that you clocked earlier.
PHP Configuration
Look for
max_execution_time
Nginx Configuration
Look for
proxy_read_timeout,proxy_connect_timeout
Apache Configuration
Look for
Timeout,ProxyTimeout
GCP Load Balancer
Check Load Balancer settings for
keepalive
Trust, but Verify
After updating, reload configs (if needed) then test to make sure the timeout issue is resolved. Hopefully, you won’t have to deal with those pesky timeout issues again.
But if you do, you know where to look.
