Hi, my apache 2.0.52 is logging Too many open files (24) and throwing HTTP error code 500 the apachectl script sets the max FD to 65536, and lsof shows ~20,000 entries for httpd (about 6000 txt - others are pipes to cronolog) It seems like the ulimit is not obeyed, but I echoed the settings after the apachectl runs at its at the hard limit. god@web-04:~ 1:53pm 51 # lsof | wc -l 20558 god@web-04:~ 1:53pm 52 # lsof | egrep httpd | wc -l 15978 Does anyone have a hint how to make apache happy and use the 64k limit? many thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
