[users@httpd] Too many open files
Hi,
I have apache 1.3.23 on red hat 7 platform.
My JSP engine is giving me error saying "Too many open files in system".
When I do
[www1@www bin]$ netstat -n | wc -l
5260
How will I know which daemon is eating my all open file descriptors.
Thanks
Rich

You need to increase the number of available file descriptors for your
OS. "ulimit -n 1000000" for the user may work. There are also some
kernel properties you may need to modify in the /proc filesystem.

Hi.
Perhaps you're looking for "lsof" command . That tells you what open files
a process has . I think each apache/httpd process takes the same number of
files open and it may be a matter of too many daemons started?
Anyway, lsof is a good place to look.
lsof | sort -n +7 -8 | grep -v [and the process you're looking for, apache]
sort -n +7 -8 will sort lsof output by process ID
Hope that's what you're looking for.
