Synopsis: Apache crashes after 138 Virtual hosts have their own log/error files
State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Fri Dec 5 16:55:55 PST 1997 State-Changed-Why: This is not a bug in Apache, but rather a limit of your OS. Please read the FAQ (http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ#fdlim) and the page on descriptors (http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/descriptors.html). It is very unlikely that this is a bug in Apache, and this is asked all the time, zillions of copies in the bugs database that you should easily be able to find, and is well documented in the above files. In this case, IRIX 6.2 doesn't support FILE structures with descriptors above 255 unless on a 64 bit machine or compiling with the n32 ABI. You may be able to work around this using the HIGH_SLACK_LINE described in the docs above or compiling using the n32 ABI; eg. add -n32 to the command line if using SGI's cc. This is an OS-specific issue.
