<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I’ve run into this same problem in the past. Try setting the max_connections variable in your config file. Six Apart’s sample config has it at 10,000 I believe. Essentially this will just up your system’s max open files limit.<BR>

I'm working on getting perlball properly utilized and have come across<BR>
another problematic error inside /var/log/messages.<BR>

Aug 21 14:51:44 web03 perlbal[4254]: Error creating socket: Too many<BR>
open files<BR>

The machine is only running perlbal, and has plenty of ram(over 3gb) &<BR>
cpu (80%+ idle) available. All machines are running centos 4.5 x86_64.<BR>
The backend machines should have more connections available as well,<BR>
since there are only 1000 sockets running within perlbal and my max<BR>
connections are 1400 on the backend machines.<BR>
<BR>
Can anyone give me any suggestions or guidance here?<BR>
