Error : Maximum file limit has been reached
Posted in Linux Administration by sibu at 4:05 pm |
Many times we get an error called the maximum number of files that can be opened has reach the limit,
In order to resolve this, you will have to login as a root on your server and edit the file called /etc/sysctl.conf
vi /etc/sysctl.conf
Add the line there as
fs.file-max = 22992
Save and exit from the file.
In order to apply these changes run the command called
# sysctl -p
This will increase the maximum number of open files for your system
