Hello.
I develop now my first project on mod_perl. When we started to test this project on separate server we faced excess opened files limit problem. There are no other serious tasks on this server, only mysql with project databases and apache. During the work with web interface number of open files slowly grows and finally reaches OS limit. And this happens with only 2-3 users working with interface !!! If to restart apache number of open files comes back in norm, so I think that the problem roots in my way of mod_perl usage. My scripts use this modules: Apache::Registry, Apache::DBI, HTML::Embperl, Apache::Store::MySQL, Apache::Lock::File. There are 3 different persistent database connections per each httpd child process. OS: FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE kern.maxfiles: 1064 -- that can be increased of course, but we need to be sure that number of open files will not grow unlimited httpd.conf: KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 StartServers 5 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 What kind of diagnostics can be done to find out what causes the problem? ---------------------------- Mike Andreev
