Quick check of /proc/*/fd/* indicates that any error log file descriptor that opens, is not closing. Quickly running against 65,000 limit max in Linux kernel. This system hosts about 400 virtual domains, each with a Listen directive (Yes, I have read the FAQ). The problem is that each server instance is keeping any error logs it has ever opened, open. >How-To-Repeat: Misc URL's on www.host-all.com give "unable to fork" errors. Error logs indicate there are not enough system file descriptors to fork(). Sample URL: http://www.anewdesign.com/echat36/public/ >Fix: Look around for something that would keep the file descriptors open to just the Error Logs! >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
