Re: FILE DESCRIPTORS

Before compiling squid, try changing the value of the __FD_SETSIZE in
the /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h file as

#define __FD_SETSIZE            8192

and then in the shell prompt

ulimit -HSn 8192

and try

echo 1024 32768 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range

then compile and install squid

This should help you out with the file descriptor problem.
