There's another great article addressing this on About.com here. Here's a quote from their site.

The 504 Gateway Timeout error is an HTTP status code that means that one server did not receive a timely response from another server that it was accessing while attempting to load the web page or fill another request by the browser. Most of the time, this means that the other server is down or not working properly.

Probably server down or apache down.
