Re: [squid-users] FileDescriptor Issues

Hello All,
I have solved the problem, I managed to increase the filedescriptor
from 1024
This what I have done on (Ubuntu hardy) it should work on most Ubuntu OS and
Debians

I first needed to see the max that my System can support

run this command first:
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max

it will display the maximum that you're system can currently handle

to increase that number

you need first to run this command
let's assume XXXXX is a number 46900

echo XXXX > proc/sys/fs/file-max (where the xx is the number you want to
add)

you then need to add this into the file
/etc/sysctl.conf file
fs.file-max = XXXXX (that same number again)

After you've done this.

check again with this command

systcl -p

It's all stored in

/proc/sys/fs/file-nr (just run this command to get the output)

To modify the limit descriptors per session
We need to add this to our limits.conf

emacs or vi /etc/security/limits.conf
and add

* soft nofile XXXXX
* hard nofile XXXXX
Note you can use either or both of the above two lines
And you can use a specific user instead of the wildcard "*" which is at the
beginning of each line, it means to all users on your system

save it and then you can check with ulimit -n
if you still get 1024 you probably need to reboot your system altogether, on
mine it didn't show until I rebooted anyway.

I hope this will help someone somewhere at some point

Regards
Adam
