The error is as clear as it could be: your backend failed to 
respond in time.  As previously suggested, it may be due to the 
fact that it's overloaded.

There are many options on how to fix this:

- Improve your backend performance by optimizing the code.

- Add more resources to the backend cluster (more processes on a 
  single server and/or more servers).

- Rethink your nginx configuration to avoid using the script 
  (e.g., use nginx configuration to do redirects instead, this 
  should be much more efficient).

In either case, everything in your configuration seems to work 
correctly as configured.
