mmap cache can't open foo.php

Hi.

Using Apache version 2.2.3 on a 'Linux CentOS' VPS, my webpages are very
slow and I get this error messages on my 'error_log' file:

Code:

[Wed Mar 26 13:05:39 2008] [warn-phpd] mmap cache can't open
/var/www/vhosts/foo.com/httpdocs/classes/Threads.php - Too many open files (pid 17650)
[Wed Mar 26 13:05:42 2008] [warn-phpd] mmap cache can't open
/var/www/vhosts/foo.com/httpdocs/classes/User.php - Too many open files (pid 17650)
[Wed Mar 26 13:05:46 2008] [warn-phpd] mmap cache can't open
/var/www/vhosts/foo.com/httpdocs/lib/Functions.php - Too many open files (pid 17650)

Some data of my server:

Code:

[]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2693 267 2425 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 267 2425
Swap: 0 0 0

[]# ulimit -m
unlimited

As you see, my Host provider gave me a VPS server with Swap=0.

I've got PHP 5.2.5 and APC (a Cache System) 3.0.17.

Thank you very much.

Check the maximum number of open files allowed to the user:

Code:

ulimit -n

Then you can try to increase this value up to the number in /proc/sys/fs/file-max, that is the upper limit provided by the kernel (but I strongly suggest to keep the user limit below this number).

I'd like to configure my "ulimit" and change the value:

Code:

ulimit -n 16384

It works perfectly if I type it on the shell, but it doesn't work if I write it within a shell script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd) or within '/etc/rc.local'

The idea is changing it each time the server starts. Any suggestion?

Put in /etc/rc.local at the end of this file this

ulimit -n 16384

It's because /etc/rc.local is the last script
