How to fix FastCGI timeout issues in Plesk?
Solution 1
In Plesk 12.x and similar go to Web Server Settings and set the following directives:
Additional directives for HTTP & HTTPS
FcgidBusyTimeout 300
FcgidIOTimeout 250
Above lines will change the timeout for scripts that are quiet too long and take too long to execute.
Additional nginx directives
proxy_read_timeout 300;
Above lines will change the proxy timeout.
If the problem persist, increase the values.

Check the screenshots for the guidance:
Solution 2
A solution provided in the forum of Plesk by Parallels staff
Edit the file:
/etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf
Specifically, change
FcgidIOTimeout 45
to
FcgidIOTimeout 3600
3600 seconds = 1 hour. Should be long enough for most but adjust upwards if required. I saw one example quoting 7200 seconds in there.
Finally, restart Apache to make the new setting active.
apachectl graceful
Hope it helps

My solution to this was to change the PHP settings in the plesk control pannel as per the screenshot.PHP Settings

PHP support is currently set to: run as Fast CGI.
I keep getting these errors in my server log:
mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 45 seconds
Premature end of script headers: index.php
Should be quick fix I think, but I cant find the file to edit. Is this something I can change from Plesk.
Anyone know how to increase the timeout?

SUDO Los Angeles over 10 yearsIf I'm not mistaken, he doesn't want to raise timeout but prevent FCGI from timing out.
