Hi Johan,

Yeah, I'm not doing anything unusual like creating a DB connection per server.

If I run from the CLI:

sudo lsof | grep httpd | wc -l

The count kind of bounces up and down between 500 - 1,500

If I just look at the contents instead of the count I see a bunch of redundant connections to access_log and the various modules (see below)

To be honest I'm out of my element here, so I'm not sure if this is unusual or not. I've updated the apache's launch daemon plist to increase the number of connections apache is allowed to 2048

MaxClient and ServerLimit set to 2048?? Are you sure that you need that much clients? I think I never set that value pass 384.

How many httpd processes do you have? You can find out like this:

# lsof -P | grep "/usr/sbin/httpd" | wc -l

and I've gone a couple of days without a failure. But I did do an intentional restart last night. Prior to altering the plist I was seeing apache going into the unresponsive state about every 24 hours.

When I called Apple they told me to run netstat -m and look at this section:

0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed

If that goes over 0 you can increase the memory buffer per this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3512 But I've yet to see that number go over zero.

(this prints out several times)

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone else had experienced the same thing. I have a X-Serve running OS X 10.5.8 whose apache server is going into a frozen state where it stops serving requests and can only be restarted by rebooting the machine. All other services seem to being running normally.

If I look at the error_log I see many variations of this error:

Too many open files in system:Some/path/on/system

I've seen this thread on the Apple discussion board: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1449787&start=15&tstart=0
And this article in the knowledge base: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3512

Does anyone have more wisdom to share?

I once had a similar problem when I started my own objectstore coordinator for each session, along the line of:
// this causes all kinds of mayhem: do not do this at home, it creates a new database connection for every session

// EOObjectStoreCoordinator coord = new EOObjectStoreCoordinator();
// myEc = ERXEC.newEditingContext(coord);
// myEc().setDelegate(this);

After that, the database would have so many open connections after a while that the database would have too many open files, and would break down.

I also seem to remember that some apache configuration would freeze with a specific log-rotation setup. (that was apache 1.3 on a FreeBSD machine)

Furthermore I would look for something in apache that opens a file but never closes these. You might use opensnoop for that, see man opensnoop, or lsof might give you some clues.

Thanks in advance,
