504 Gateway Time-out when testing Form Trigger

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

I am trying to test a n8n Form Trigger node through clicking the orange “Test step” button. A new tab appeared, as expected. (The test URL was “https://(someword)-(someword)-(somenumber).hooks.n8n.cloud/form-test/myform”.)

But it keeps loading for several minutes and eventually gives a 504 Gateway Time-out error.

What I’ve tried to solve this

  • Run “n8n start --tunnel” in the bash again to get a fresh new tunnel URL
  • Restart the whole raspberry pi 4

Expected behavior

I guess the browser should display a form for me to fill in.

What is the error message (if any)?

other info

While reading previous related post like this and this, I’ve learned that maybe this is related to the firewall blocking the traffics. But I haven’t change any related settings on my router. (Or should I?

Hey @CTLu,

Welcome to the community :raised_hands:

I would avoid using the tunnel as we will likely be removing it soon, It may be worth looking at setting up a tunnel with Cloudflare or ngrok.

The error itself sounds like maybe the tunnel is having a hard time connecting properly, restarting n8n normally normally sorts it.
