I'm sometime having the error message "Too many open files in system" while browsing websites hosted on my server. It also sometime happen in WHM or cPanel. Does any body knows a solution to this problem?
Normally such errors come when:
you have a limit on how many process a user can run
Or how many processes can run on the system at one time.
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
Google around for increasing (if permitted by your kernel) ... following is the cmd:
echo somethihighervalue > /proc/sys/fs/file-max (somehighervalue is the value higher than what you find with cat command)
Not too sure (as i have mailman disabled) but mailing lists could be one culprit.... just a guess. Watch for opinion from experts
