504 Gateway Time-out during POST

[Rob Schultz]

It sounds like your php-fastcgi isn't configured like your apache or  
you are not running that many instances of them to handle your load.  
Apache automatically forked more processes as load went up. php- 
fastcgi does not so you will have to add more processes to handle the  
load. Also i would recommend using php-fpm patch to php for running  
your php-fastcgi instances.

So to ask how many processes of php do you have configured running?
