next(err);
} else { photos.save({
filename: files.file.filename,

}, function(error, docs) {
res.redirect('/photos');
});
}
});
//console.log('\nUploaded %s to %s', files.photo.filename, 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.

You are using the connect-timeout module so that is shows a message to your users in case the page takes more than X seconds to load (server-side).
It's obvious that the upload page might be taking more than that, so what you should do in your upload route is to clear the timeout like this:
app.post('/photos/new', function(req, res) {
req.clearTimeout();
...
Read more about connect-timeout on its github page.
