Question

js.I am trying to create a file upload using node.js and mongodb.I am getting timeout error in posting data.The code that i use is:

app.post('/photos/new', function(req, res) {
  var photo = new Photo();
  req.form.complete(function(err, fields, files) {
    if(err) {
      next(err);
    } else {
      ins = fs.createReadStream(files.file.path);
      ous = fs.createWriteStream(__dirname + '/static/uploads/photos/' + files.file.filename);
      util.pump(ins, ous, function(err) {
        if(err) {
          next(err);
        } else { photos.save({
           filename: files.file.filename,
                   file: files.file.path
                 }, function(error, docs) {
              res.redirect('/photos');
         });
        }
      });
      //console.log('\nUploaded %s to %s', files.photo.filename, files.photo.path);
      //res.send('Uploaded ' + files.photo.filename + ' to ' + files.photo.path);
    }
  });
});

see this answer…

Error: parser error, 0 of 4344 bytes parsed (Node.js)

Also u can use req.clearTimeout() as suggested above by alessioalex.

I belive this part of your code is creating problems that u should avoid.

photos.save({
           filename: files.file.filename,
                   file: files.file.path
                 }, function(error, docs) {
              res.redirect('/photos');
         });

Instead use like this:

var post = new Post();
      post.filename=files.file.filename;
      post.file=files.file.path;

And then something like this:

post.save(function(err) {
                   if (err)
                return postCreationFailed();
                   req.flash('info', 'photos Succesfully Uploaded');
               res.redirect('were u want to redirect');
                });

Hope this solves your issue.
