WordPress theme not uploading to Amazon EC2?

I’m setting up a WordPress blog on Amazon EC2 server with nginx and Varnish. I’ve followed this tutorial step by step.

The blog is setup & working fine.

Now when I try to upload a new theme through WordPress, it starts uploading and by the time it reaches 70%(takes around 1 minute to reach 70%), the connection is abruptly disconnected with the error code: ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED

I’m guessing it is due to some connection timeout that’s happening in nginx, varnish or somewhere else.

I’m new to this stuff. I did the following:

  1. I changed the timeout in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
    to request_terminate_timeout = 500

  2. I changed the timeout in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf to fastcgi_read_timeout 500;

But that didn’t seem to work. I’m stuck. Kindly guide me.

  1. For anyone facing the same issue, here’s the solution.
    Solved it by adding the following settings:

    php-fpm’s php.ini

    max_execution_time = 240
    upload_max_filesize = 32M
    post_max_size = 32M
    

    php-fpm’s pool configuration

    request_terminate_timeout = 240s
    request_slowlog_timeout = 230s
    slowlog = /var/log/php5-fpm.slow.log
    

    nginx.conf

    client_header_timeout 240;
    client_body_timeout 240;
    fastcgi_read_timeout 240;
    client_max_body_size 32m;
    

    All thanks to this wonderful post
