Re: [Haskell-cafe] too many open files using snap
Not knowing how exactly you set up your interop with mysql, is there any chance your application tries to keep too many mysql connections open? A simple show processlist; inside of a mysql console should rule out this possibility. Also, are you reading to or writing from any files at any point independently of the snap infrastructure? I have had issues in the past with intermittent background file reads not being strict enough and eventually starving the system of file descriptors.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] too many open files using snap
This is very helpful, I found currently almost all of the open files are sockets. But it don't have that much traffic. So it seems it's leaking socket file descriptors. 在 2012-1-8，下午10:50， Felipe Almeida Lessa 写道： On Sun, Jan 8, 2012 at 12:27 PM, Gregory Collins g...@gregorycollins.net wrote: A too many open files error is usually due to running out of file descriptors for network sockets.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] too many open files using snap
I run both of these commands and found out that there're sockets leaking. Most of them are TCP connections in CLOSE_WAIT state. There're also some socket with can't identify protocol. So, What's the problem? Is it related to the timeout in the server config? I'm using the default value. 在 2012-1-8，下午10:56， Brandon Allbery 写道： On Sun, Jan 8, 2012 at 09:50, Felipe Almeida Lessa felipe.le...@gmail.com wrote: If you're on Linux, then you may $ ls -lah /proc/PID/fd to see where these open files are pointing to.

Since they're sockets, it could be either the database connections or the HTTP connections, right? Is there some way you can insert a fake database layer to see if that makes your problem go away, to try and isolate the problem?

Yes, I know it's not related to the static files now. But do I have to close socket in snap monad? Shouldn't it be closed by snap-server? 在 2012-1-9，下午2:29， Gregory Collins 写道： 2012/1/9 Eric Wong wsy...@gmail.com I run both of these commands and found out that there're sockets leaking.
