Why can not increase the open files (fds) ?
 

Hi,

I'm dealing with a problem a week ago, i'm trying to increase the fds limit for lighttpd on my Debian but without result :(

ulimit -n 4096 and added

* soft nofile 4096
* hard nofile 63536

to limits.conf

and the options don't take effect but i tried on annother virtual debian machine and it works correctly but why ?

Who is blocking the system to increase the fds value ?

Thank you !

up !

Hmmm...

Not sure what else may be at play with lighttpd off-hand, but you might want to try something like this:
That should give you every location that ulimit is set and/or mentioned in the config files.

HTH. Let us know.
