504 gateway timeout

Same for me. The Installation of Concrete5 v5.6.0.1 results in a 504 gateway timeout for me on an shared host. I will try to contact the webhoster next, maybe they can help.

What I did so far to solve the problem:

- contacted the server support team (they gave up after 30 min live support)
- tried to install concrete5 on another webspace - different provider (same error)
- tried to install from a different computer in an other city (no success)
- tried to install without sample content (no success)
- installed directly to html root directory (no success)

I have done a Bug-Report here:
http://www.concrete5.org/developers/bugs/5.6.0.1/5.6.0.1-installati...

I have Concrete5 running on Cherokee.

After coming across this thread I decided to investigate to see if I could help out? I also have had an interest in the Cherokee web server for several years, but never made the time to try it out so this gave me a good reason to do so.

This is what I did in a nut shell:

1) Compiled Cherokee from source

- Downloaded latest source code using below command
wgethttp://www.cherokee-project.com/cherokee-latest-tarball... -O -| tar zxvf –

- Ran ./configure
- Ran make
- Ran make install
- Started Cherokee-admin using below command
cherokee-admin -b xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Note: The –b just specifies which IP address to bind the admin interface too. I didn't want to bind to all my IP address. Specify your IP address in place of xx.xxx.xxx.xxx or omit the –b option altogether.

Under Quickstart steps 1 – 5

2) Logged into Cherokee admin interface from browser.
Note: After starting cherokee-admin it displays the login information in console.

3) Started the web server
Note: To start the Cherokee web server from admin interface, I had to:
- Disable IPv6 support (This is specific to my server configuration)
- Change default port from 80 to 8080 (Already running Apache)

4) Used the Cherokee Admin Concrete5 Wizard to set-up the web server.
- Downloaded latest Concrete5 release (5.6.0.1)
- Uploaded and unzipped on my server at /usr/share/concrete5
- Started the Wizard for Concrete5
Note: The Wizard takes care of the web server stuff like Virtual server, PHP, URL etc.. Pretty nice!

5) Setup database for my Concrete5 install using cPanel.

6) Setup sub-domain concrete5.yourdomain.com from my cPanel. The root directory pointing to my Concrete5 directory.
Note: When using the Wizard in step 4 you have the option of a subdomain or using directory.

7) I also setup a redirect from concrete5.yourdomain.com --> concrete5.yourdomain.com:8080 using cPanel.
Note: This was only necessary to get incoming request for my sub-domain to route to Cherokee via port 8080. This being a test I didn't want to take the time to dedicate an IP to Cherokee server.

8) Pointed browser at my Concrete5 URL and walked through install.

Hope this is helpful?

Good luck!
