 * recently i’ve been having problems updating plugins automatically (self-hosted).
 * every time i choose upgrade, i enter user/pass as required and it seems to do
   something, but then i get the following error.
 * —–
    504 gateway time-out nginx-catap/0.8.7.528.179136c —–
 * any ideas?
 * this is today happening when i try to update “wp-touch” and “smart youtube” plugins.

 * Send them a copy of your error. Nginx is an HTTP server & proxy.
