Periodic 'Error response code 504'

[AdamS 29]

One of my client's gets periodic 'Error response code 504' when attempting to search.

 

Restarting the Connect instance or the server generally fixes it but it keeps occurring at semi regular intervals.

 

running Connect 2.0.

 

Any idea's/thoughts?

Hi Adam,

 

504 error code indicates a connection timeout which happens when response is not ready in 3 minutes. Based on the description this might be caused by a long running complex search queries - but we would have to look at the logs in order to be sure.

I don't think it's due to complex queries in this instance as my client is only running single word or short phrase queries. Next time it happens I'll send the log files through to support and see if that sheds some light on it.

Did you by any chance ever find the source of your Error 504 AdamS? We are experiencing the same issues with searching by keyword list. Thanks

Sorry Vince the issue didn't occur again so didn't chase it any further

Vince, maybe your keyword search is too complex to be evaluated in 3 minutes timeout. The solution might be to split it into smaller chunks or reduce the complexity (by eliminating excessive use of wildcards, for instance). There might also be a way out by bumping the timeout parameter to a higher value.
