I have a working socket server in PHP that I wish to improve (allow for more socket connections). I am running into a limit I can't crack, related to the max number of incoming socket connections. Using Macports for package management... I've recompiled PHP with the --enable-fd-setsize=2048 in the port file) … but I still get the following PHP warning once my socket server tries to accept more than 1024 clients (800, 900 are okay): PHP Warning: socket_select(): You MUST recompile PHP with a larger value of FD_SETSIZE. It is set to 2048, but you have descriptors numbered at least as high as 1027. --enable-fd-setsize=2048 is recommended, but you may want to set it to equal the maximum number of open files supported by your system, Weird right? Shows I have it set in PHP, so maybe it's a resource limit? But having changed sysctl.conf, ulimit -a shows: core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 2048 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 709 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited So I should be able to have up to 2048 files (sockets) open, but PHP still complains. What am I missing? Any ideas what I should try next? ...Rene -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
