Re: [Pound Mailing List] "Too many open files" errors running pound 2.5-1.1 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Nigel Pallett]

Scott, Pound is talking to backend apache webservers (on the 10.10.5.xxx addressess on the logs) configured with the rpaf module to talk back to pound. This has been working successfully for almost two years now. Is it possible that recent changes to the website application being served up by the backends could give rise to these errors ? Regards, Nigel.

However, I could be wrong but a copy of your pound.cfg would help (remove real world IP's etc.) ~Scott On 25 February 2013 14:58, Nigel Pallett <nigel.pall...@lonres.com> wrote: Hi, I'm running pound 2.5-1.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS , and I'm getting lot's of "Too many open files" errors in syslog (See example below) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f3273bc4700) e503 backend 10.10.5.122:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f325330c700) e503 backend 10.10.5.122:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f3273bc4700) e503 backend 10.10.5.123:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f3270380700) e503 backend 10.10.5.123:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f325b69a700) e503 backend 10.10.5.122:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f3271136700) e503 backend 10.10.5.121:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f32712bc700) e503 backend 10.10.5.124:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f32712bc700) e503 backend 10.10.5.122:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f3271136700) e503 backend 10.10.5.124:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f325b69a700) e503 backend 10.10.5.124:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f325b69a700) e503 backend 10.10.5.122:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f3271136700) e503 backend 10.10.5.122:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f3271136700) e503 backend 10.10.5.124:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:30 gr-lb01 pound: (7f325b69a700) e503 backend 10.10.5.123:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:33 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:33 gr-lb01 pound: (7f325a75e700) e503 backend 10.10.5.124:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:33 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:33 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:33 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:33 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:33 gr-lb01 pound: (7f325a75e700) e503 backend 10.10.5.121:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:33 gr-lb01 pound: HTTP accept: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:33 gr-lb01 pound: (7f3272293700) e503 backend 10.10.5.122:80 socket create: Too many open files Feb 25 14:53:33 gr-lb01 pound: (7f3271f46700) e503 backend 10.10.5.124:80 socket create: Too many open files ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Any Ideas ?
