RE: [squid-users] file descriptor problem

Hi,

Something more simple : modify directly squid sources.
Go to src/ and open main.c ; look for
"if (Fnd D_SETSIZE < Squid_MaxFD)
        Squid_MaxFD = FD_SETSIZE;"
and add
"Squid_MaxFD = the_number_of_file_descriptor_you_want;"
below.
Note that when you'll compile it, you'll still get :
checking Default FD_SETSIZE value... 1024
checking Maximum number of filedescriptors we can open... 1024
(1024 beeing my default value).
Dont forget to add ulimit -Hsn in squid's startup script (as said
int the faq), start squid and then check in cachemgr (in General
runtime info). It should be ok.

        P-E

here's teh funnt bit

i see both a types.h file and a typesizes.h file

the SETSIZE option appears in the typesizes.h file which i have edited
already
[root@athena2 bits]# grep SETSIZE typesizes.h
#define __FD_SETSIZE 1024
define __FD_SETSIZE 32768

but i also inserted this entry in types.h file even though it shouldn't
be there ( i think)...but it made no difference

[root@athena2 bits]# grep SETSIZE types.h
define __FD_SETSIZE 32768

and yes i am running everything as root

here is my limits.conf file

[root@athena2 security]# more limits.conf
# /etc/security/limits.conf
#
#Each line describes a limit for a user in the form:
#
#<domain> <type> <item> <value>
#
#Where:
#<domain> can be:
# - an user name
# - a group name, with @group syntax
# - the wildcard *, for default entry
#
#<type> can have the two values:
# - "soft" for enforcing the soft limits
# - "hard" for enforcing hard limits
#
#<item> can be one of the following:
# - core - limits the core file size (KB)
# - data - max data size (KB)
# - fsize - maximum filesize (KB)
# - memlock - max locked-in-memory address space (KB)
# - nofile - max number of open files
# - rss - max resident set size (KB)
# - stack - max stack size (KB)
# - cpu - max CPU time (MIN)
# - nproc - max number of processes
# - as - address space limit
# - maxlogins - max number of logins for this user
# - priority - the priority to run user process with
# - locks - max number of file locks the user can hold
#
#<domain> <type> <item> <value>
#

#* soft core 0
#* hard rss 10000
#@student hard nproc 20
#@faculty soft nproc 20
#@faculty hard nproc 50
#ftp hard nproc 0
#@student - maxlogins 4
