Hello,
I'm running a RHEL5 system as a virtual hosting server, (virtualmin).
I've got about 1000~ sites operating at the moment. A few months ago
Apache stopped functioning, a bunch of errors about "Too many open
files". I don't have the exact messages anymore, but I tried a number of
things in the /proc/ filesystem to raise the limit, not of which seemed
to have an effect. Long story short, I ended up changing the apache
config, and putting all 2000+ apache logs into just two files (access &
error logs, which was obviously not the ideal fix, but I was unable to
get any reaction from the system when changing the open file limits. I
left it set at:
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
1334555
Fast forward to this morning, apparently for a brief period of time (not
more than an hour I assume) I had this same issue pop up (first time
since). After doing a bit of searching I (finally) realized perhaps this
was because of my /etc/security/limits.conf settings? (I overlooked this
the first time, at least I think I did).
So I changed the limits for apache:
< @apache - nofile 4096
Anything in /var/log/messages? I'm thinking the kernel mighr be saying
something.
