 * Hello, I’m getting 504 Gateway Error when I’m loading some pages in my website.
   It doesn’t occur every time I load a page. I looked through the server error 
   log and I found the error:
    “Timeout waiting for output from CGI script” The 
   file content is: define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true); require( dirname( __FILE__ ) .‘/
   wp-blog-header.php’ ); What can I do to prevent this error?
 * Additional information:
    it’s on multisite, there are lots of plugins but the
   client wants them all, I increased the PHP memory but the error keeps showing.

 * I have a client who has a client that is experiencing this exact same issue. 
   Did you find a resolution?
 * You wouldn’t happen to be on media temple would you?
