#22793 [NEW]: failed to create stream: Too many open files

From: ewa at buffalo dot edu Operating system: Solaris 8 PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Apache related Bug description: failed to create stream: Too many open files We have an apache webserver with 291 virtual hosts. Recently upgraded from: apache1.3.26+ssl_1.48/openssl-0.9.6e/php4.2.3 to apache1.3.27+ssl_1.48/openssl-0.9.7a/php4.3.1 We are experiencing intermittant problems with webpages not loading. Reloading a page fixes it sometimes and sometimes it does not. The problem goes away after apache server is restarted and the problem does not show up until 3 or 4 days later. the errors we get: Warning: main(admissions_navigation.inc) [function.main <http://www.php.net/function.main>]: failed to create stream: Too many open files in /info/www/ubwww/admissions/index.php on line 13 Warning: main() [function.main <http://www.php.net/function.main>]: Failed opening 'admissions_navigation.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /info/www/ubwww/admissions/index.php on line 13 Warning: main(admissions_page.inc) [function.main <http://www.php.net/function.main>]: failed to create stream: Too many open files in /info/www/ubwww/admissions/index.php on line 14 Warning: main() [function.main <http://www.php.net/function.main>]: Failed opening 'admissions_page.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /info/www/ubwww/admissions/index.php on line 14 Warning: main(classes/CONFIG/log_config.inc) [function.main <http://www.php.net/function.main>]: failed to create stream: Too many open files in /info/www/ubwww/admissions/index.php on line 15 Warning: main() [function.main <http://www.php.net/function.main>]: Failed opening 'classes/CONFIG/log_config.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /info/www/ubwww/admissions/index.php on line 15 Any thoughts appreciated.
