#20274 [Asn]: failed to create stream: Too many open files in Unknown on line

ID: 20274 Updated by: thetaphi@php.net Reported By: fowler at csufresno dot edu Status: Assigned Bug Type: iPlanet related Operating System: Solaris (all) PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-11-06 Assigned To: thetaphi New Comment: Also the perl programmers have the same problem: the version of perl i mentioned before that I had compiled myself was on an AIX box so it wasn't a fair test, because when I compiled perl on the sun box myself I still had the 256 open file limit. I started poking through perl documentation and found this in README.solaris The stdio(3C) manpage notes that only 255 files may be opened using fopen(), and only file descriptors 0 through 255 can be used in a stream. Since perl calls open() and then fdopen(3C) with the resulting file descriptor, perl is limited to 255 simultaneous open files. ---- So we should choose one of the following possibilities: a) use only open() and not fopen(), which should be possible beacuse later in streams.c only the read file descriptor is obtained with fileno(). Why also use fopen? b) in solaris use parts of glibc which handles fopen-streams. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-08 06:25:15] thetaphi@php.net I will test it with PHP5 on out solaris box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-07 20:01:28] wez@php.net It's in PHP_4_3 branch. The problem does not apply to PHP5, as the ZE2 no longer needs to cast/clone streams. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-07 11:52:36] thetaphi@php.net wez@thetaphi.net: The fix you explained: Is it also in the 4.3 CVS? Or only in newest one? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-07 10:36:40] thetaphi@php.net The problem is still in the CVS. I have the problem with my own development webserver (Solaris 2.9, SunOne Webserver 6.0 newest one SP5), too. At this time I am looking for a fix. Increasing the file descriptor limit does not help, too. I compile at this time with gcc. I will check if problem with Forte7 still there... due to Sun recommends Forte7 for NSAPI. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-25 08:47:55] wez@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
