Too Many Open Files

[Kerry Wilson <kwilson@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am getting the following critical error throughout my log files:

(24)Too many open files: /var/www/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to 
check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

/var/www/.htaccess does not exist

I suspect the problem is caused b/c the server has reached the maximum 
open files limit for some reason

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max yields 206302

This problem is occurring on one of our newer servers which only has 
about 20 vhosts on it, our other server is working fine running 100+ 
vhosts, despite less RAM and a file-max setting of 157284 and all the 
sites are running on the same CMS system ( internally developed ).  Has 
anyone encountered this error before?
