That's the number system wide---there may be a process limit. If you do a "ulimit -n" from the shell, you'll see how many files a process can normally open. This can be raised, but only by root, and you'll probably only want to do it just prior to the webserver starting (in the startup scripts). -spc (Have rarely encountered this problem with Apache) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
