Is there any way I can make the error 504 gateway timeout longer if so how and where is the file to change it located. I am using nginx on centos 6

Depending on the kind of gateway you have you should use something like:
proxy_read_timeout 600s;
Check docs: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_read_timeout

I found that scalescale.com/tips/nginx/504-gateway-time-out-using-nginx has some additional timeout settings mentioned. That could also be helpful in this regard.

Well I tried to answer the question first. Other options mentioned there are not about nginx or not about fixing error 504 (except *_connect_timeout porbably... but that's rather about network connection issues).

Yes, I'm aware of that and I also found your answer helpful a good deal to me. Just thought that the additional info might help others as well .)

do you need to put 's' to the time ?
proxy_read_timeout 60s;kworr
@DavidLin, you are right, though seconds are default, measurement units should be added per nginx.org/en/docs/syntax.html

If it is a fastcgi timeout error, then you need to increase the fastcgi_read_timeout.
# /etc/nginx/conf.d/example.com.conf
server {
location ~ \.(php)$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php74-example.com.sock;
fastcgi_read_timeout 300s;
error log) upstream timed out
# tail -f example.com.error.log
