Nginx timeout and speed

[droidman]

I run nginx on a VPS with 2GB ram and a pretty decent processor, it is not the cheapest vps almost like a dedicated server, i used nginx at first to improve web speed but i now face some problems since i dont know how to make a proper nginx administration like i did with apache, for example, how do i setup the timeout?
When i upload a very big file using HTTP if it takes more than 2 minutes nginx makes a timeout and shows an error, is there a way to increase this value like i do with php and apache ?
Also, i send a lot of e-mails, anyone has a good configuration for e-mail marketing using nginx to improve the server speed and cpu usage?

Thanks in advance

you can increase timeout from nginx.conf

client_header_timeout 3m;
client_body_timeout 3m;
send_timeout 3m;

for email marketing you better use an ESP (i don't see any connection to nginx)

I believe they were referring to an Email Service Provider. Some people like to be lazy and abbreviate everything.
If you're running into huge upload timeouts, you want to increase this to more than 3 minutes, because it will take more than 3 minutes to upload (most) large files.
