I am currently building an intranet site which uses a Postgresql database backend. Unfortunately the database server is opening more files for every SQL request from the web site. This quickly leads to a crash after the kernels file table has filled up. As of today I have no idea about the cause of the problem. Initially I blamed Apache::DBI and therefore I disabled it, adding $dbh->disconnect statements to my code. However this has not solved the problem. My server runs the following software: FreeBSD 4.0 or FreeBSD 4.2 stable Apache 1.3 ModPerl Apache::DBI (disabling this doesn't change anything) HTML::Mason Any ideas on the cause of the problems. Any similar experiences? Thanks in advance for your reply. Frank Sonnemans
