Hallo Matthew, in the /etc/system I set: set rlim_fd_max = 8192 * set soft limit on file descriptors set rlim_fd_cur = 4096 ulimit -a as root shows: time(seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) unlimited stack(kbytes) 8192 coredump(blocks) unlimited nofiles(descriptors) 1024 memory(kbytes) unlimited ulimit -a as web server process owner shows: time(seconds) 600 file(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) 1000000 stack(kbytes) 8192 coredump(blocks) 0 nofiles(descriptors) 2268 memory(kbytes) 1000000 - Any comments? I beleave that the fd_setsize compiler parameter should solve the problem. regards Harald On Wed, 24 Aug 2005, Matthew McHugh wrote: > Harald, > > Have you upped the FD limit via modifying /etc/system with the correct > parameters?
