Hi, you can check your file limits with $ ulimit -Hn $ ulimit -Sn
The limits are configured in /etc/security/limits.conf If you google for it, you will find, how to set. After changing, new opend shells will have the new parameters. After changing them, your first error message " Changed limits: max_open_files: 1024 (requested 5000)" should be gone, maybe the next one too.....
