Package: nginx Severity: minor For Debian systems, the default file descriptor limit is 1024. The default configuration has worker_connections 1024. These worker connections use up a file descriptor for each connection.
Because file descriptors are also used for stdin, stderr, stdout, and log files this number causes issues when the connections get to be too high. For this reason, the worker_connections limit should be moved to 768 to allow ample room for connections. This will eliminate errors such as: accept() failed (24: Too many open files) Instead, when the connections limit is reached, there will be the error: [alert] 17831#0: 2 worker_connections are not enough This will leave the administrator to finish configuring the system to handle higher loads based on a more descriptive error message. The limit will also be coming from Nginx limits rather than system limits. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers natty-updates APT policy: (500, 'natty-updates'), (500, 'natty-security'), (500, 'natty') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages nginx depends on: ii libc6 2.12.1-0ubuntu9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgeoip1 1.4.7~beta6+dfsg-1 A non-DNS IP-to-country resolver l ii libpcre3 8.02-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-3ubuntu1 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 4.0-0ubuntu8 Linux Standard Base 4.0 init scrip ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu1 compression library - runtime nginx recommends no packages.
