ID: 22416 Comment by: mytto at openxtrem dot com Reported By: jhalla at legion dot org Status: Bogus Bug Type: iPlanet related Operating System: Solaris 8 PHP Version: 4.3.6 Assigned To: wez New Comment:
Unfortunately ih happens rather randomly on many websites I host, which are themselves instances of opensource solutions like Mambo, TikiWiki or dotProject. It's often a fopen() fonction call that raise a 'failed to create/open stream: Too many open files'. The trick is that when I refresh several times, it happens work back again... I'm quite puzzled :/ Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-06 13:56:39] [EMAIL PROTECTED] In which context does that happen? Any function call? The Zend engine itsself has no further limitations. Only 3rd party modules can run into this limitation if they use stdio which is limited in Solaris 32bit (even 3rd party libs that are used by a PHP extension). Libs/Extensions that have problems (as I know): * sybase/sybase_ct (in the libs of Sybase, not PHP) -> use freetds here * imap extension (no further testing), depends on the imap library used * older MySQL libs, use newest one, not the bundled one In PHP itsself one of this are currently the mail() function because it uses stdio pipes to send data to sendmail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-06 13:42:47] mytto at openxtrem dot com Though I'm running PHP 4.3.5, I encounter the same problem. Do you have another solution? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-11 12:02:11] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the newest version of PHP (4.3.3 or greater). There this limit is removed. Your comment to 64bit is not acceptable for iPlanet users because iPlanet is a 32 bit webserver which cannot run modules compiled in 64 bit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-13 14:59:22] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The issue is that the (brain-dead) solaris libc has a hard limit of 256 FILE*s. It is not possible to fopen() more files than that (although open() works just fine). Duplicate of Bug #20274. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-25 09:15:03] jhalla at legion dot org Running: Solaris 8, iPlanet 6sp4 enterprise, PHP 4.3 All PHP pages get this error: Warning: Unknown(/web_sites/doc_root/public_html/index.php): failed to create stream: Too many open files in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown(): Failed opening '/web_sites/doc_root/public_html/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/web_sites/doc_root:/home/web_sites/doc_root/public_html') in Unknown on line 0 Files which are basically just all HTML w/ no PHP code in them whatsoever, but w/ the .php extension, will also produce the above error. PHP 4.2.3 appears to be the only workable release for iPlanet 6 on Solaris - at least, according to feedback from other users on this Bug List, so we are going back to that release. This is a serious issue w/ PHP 4.3.0 and iPlanet, and needs to be addressed. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22416&edit=1
