The failure to create a database can also occur due to the too low open file limit on some Unix/Linux systems. For instance Ubuntu has this limit set to around 200000 open files by default which turned out to be insufficient. The issue can be identified by looking for a 'too many open files' exception in derby.log created in $CATALINA_HOME/bin by default. One solution to this issue is to increase the open file limit system-wide: 1) Set fs.file-max = 400000 (or similarly high number) in /etc/sysctl.conf 2) Apply the changes by executing sysctl -p > Buggy bundled derby version > --------------------------- > > Key: MAGNOLIA-818 > URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-818 > Project: Magnolia > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Affects Versions: 2.1.5 > Environment: FreeBSD, TomCat 5.5.15, JRE 1.5 > Reporter: Dave Avent > Assigned To: Boris Kraft > Fix For: 3.0 RC3 > > > The bundled derby.jar file contains a known bug as reported/fixed here: > http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.magnolia.info/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://documentation.magnolia.info/docs/en/editor/stayupdated.html ----------------------------------------------------------------
