[solved] Too many open files

Hi,

Around once per hour I am getting the email:

LiteSpeed Web server server on server restarts automatically to fix 503 Errors

Fair enough, I check my log files and I can see this is the problem:

This has been happening for a while, I have followed the advice on:

http://www.litespeedtech.com/how-tos.html#qa_incfd

And

Though this normally gets reset back to 2048 after a while.

I have been logging the number of open files of root and nobody with:

#/usr/sbin/lsof -u root | wc -l
#/usr/sbin/lsof -u nobody | wc -l

and it appears that when 'nobody' gets to around 20k, that's when the problems start.

Any any idea what this limit is and how to change it?

Many thanks,

Ian

Please confirm the version: it's the latest 4.1.2 ? if not, do a force re-install and see if issue still exists.

It is 4.1.2 - I have forced reinstall and will let you know if it continues.

Thanks.

if it happen again, please compress and send output of lsof.

Unfortunately it is still happening.. I have sent the lsof output to:

Let me know if you need it sending somewhere else.

Thanks for your help.

After new force install I am no longer getting this problem which is great.

Still restarting very often due to 503 errors - but I believe this is probably a different problem that I will look into!

Thanks for sorting this one out.

Please force reinstall 4.1.2, more bug fixed for this issue.

Yes - force reinstalling again has fixed it.

Thanks for the awesome level of support here!
