I own a game server (counter strike 2) in the middle east . I'm trying to set up a web panel for it which is hosted in Europe on an ubuntu 22 VPS . This website has a tool that allows remote commands to be run on the game server from the website using the source RCON protocol .
The website uses PHP (Laravel). When I try to use the RCON console on the website to run commands , I get Nginx 504 gateway time-out .
The Nginx log shows the following :
2024/12/25 22:21:34 [error] 1431#1431: *2081 upstream timed out (110: Unknown error) while reading response header from upstream, client: 88.196.213.143, server: some.domain.com, request: "GET /servers/1/players HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock", host: "some.domain.com", referrer: "https://some.domain.com/"
At first , I thought maybe there is a connection issue between the Europe VPS and my game server so I installed rcon-cli on my Europe VPS and using that , I was able to successfully connect to game server . As a result , I figured the issue is only related to PHP RCON tool.
Since many people are using this website panel and have no issues , I doubt there is anything wrong with the code as well . The only thing that comes to my mind is my Nginx configuration.
Here is my Nginx site.conf :
server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; listen 443 ssl; server_name some.domain.com; root /var/www/html/aim1/public; ##<----THIS IS THE ACTUAL PATH ssl_certificate /root/cert/some.domain.com/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /root/cert/some.domain.com/privkey.pem; add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"; add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"; index index.php; charset utf-8; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; } error_page 404 /index.php; location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_hide_header X-Powered-By; } location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* { deny all; } }
Here is my fastcgi.conf :
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string; fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method; fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type; fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri; fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri; fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root; fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol; fastcgi_param REQUEST_SCHEME $scheme; fastcgi_param HTTPS $https if_not_empty; fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1; fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx_version; fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr; fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port; fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user; fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr; fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port; fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; # PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
And lastly , here is my nginx.conf file :
user www-data; worker_processes auto; pid /run/nginx.pid; include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf; events { worker_connections 768; # multi_accept on; } http { ## # Basic Settings ## sendfile on; tcp_nopush on; types_hash_max_size 2048; # server_tokens off; # server_names_hash_bucket_size 64; # server_name_in_redirect off; include /etc/nginx/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; ## # SSL Settings ## ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3; # Dropping SSLv3, ref: POODLE ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; ## # Logging Settings ## access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; ## # Gzip Settings ## gzip on; # gzip_vary on; # gzip_proxied any; # gzip_comp_level 6; # gzip_buffers 16 8k; # gzip_http_version 1.1; # gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript; ## # Virtual Host Configs ## include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*; } #mail { # # See sample authentication script at: # # http://wiki.nginx.org/ImapAuthenticateWithApachePhpScript # # # auth_http localhost/auth.php; # # pop3_capabilities "TOP" "USER"; # # imap_capabilities "IMAP4rev1" "UIDPLUS"; # # server { # listen localhost:110; # protocol pop3; # proxy on; # } # # server { # listen localhost:143; # protocol imap; # proxy on; # } #}
Can anyone please help me get rid of this Nginx error?
