Thread: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files
Bummer. I opened up a putty ssh to the server and did an su to superuser. I wanted to see what the hard limit was for open file handles
I typed in at the bash# ulimit -Hn and the return value was 1024, Not good.
I issued the command to up the hard limit to 10000. The command was ulimit -Hn 10000.
The soft limit was 1024 as well. I upped the soft limit to 5000 with the command: ulimit -Sn 5000
From what I could gather, this problem started happening when I initiated a log4j logger and we started getting decent traffic.
Hope this helps.
