Increasing file descriptors only delays the problem.

Our script to monitor the problem reports the following:

Please try increasing your kernel file descriptor limit

I get the same error message "failed to create stream: Too many open
files in Unknown on line 0" and "for inclusion
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0"

I have php4.3.0RC2 and iplanet6 SP5. I opened the bug #20653. I was
told to compile the latest php on my system and you send me
php4.4.0-Dev. But I did not wanted to put Dev on the production box so
I downloaded php4.3.0rc2 off of php.net site and installed it on my
test box. I tested it for 10 days it worked fine. But now that I
compiled the same thing on the production box I get the above error
messages. 
What should I do?

Can you try increasing your kernel file descriptor limit
(Try doubling it)?
(Don't ask me how; I don't have Solaris).

It's possible that PHP just uses more files concurrently than it used
to, however, it could also be a leak.

P.S.  was able to correct the make issue with 4.2.3 with correct nsapi
include path.
