Hi Michael, Did you tried the following "ulimit -S -n `ulimit -H -n` ? This will assign the max open file hard limits value to your soft limit. Can you check the output of ulimit -H -n and ulimit -S -n?Former gives your hard and the latter gives your soft limits respectively. Even if the above step is giving problem then increase the hard limit to max value as per ur system should be something like 999999.So put this value to ur soft limit by the above procedure in the apachectl script and try out.You print the value of ulimit -S -n in you apachectl script just to make sure the change is taking place.Make sure the shell which runs the apachectl gets the incremented FDS. Thanks Arnab
