Linux Tomcat max open files
First of all, I must say that Tomcat is one code that shouldn’t be never written. Troubleshooting is a bitch, it uses Java, and the official support is closing to zero.
I stumbled into a error (in a Debian / Ubuntu) where a Tomcat app writes into /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.date.log an error saying
“java.net.SocketException: Too many open files"
The app itself also displayed a variety of errors, which basically said nothing.
Tried to hack the “/etc/security/limits.conf” -file – no help there
Tried to hack the “/etc/sysctl.conf” -files – no help there
Tried the “ulimit -n” -way – no help there
After this I contacted Tomcat official support, and the answer was that I should install the instance in a Windows Server -machine, and check, if the problem still extists. (!!!) The server itself had a variety of services, so that was out of the question. Must dig deeper.
After of hours of surfing I came across a known bug of of Tomcat: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1583041
…and the resolution, you must hack the /etc/init.d/tomcat7 -file
Inserting lines:
[sourcecode] # Short-Description: Start Tomcat. # Description: Start the Tomcat servlet engine. ### END INIT INFO ulimit -Hn 16384 ulimit -Sn 16384 set -e PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin NAME=tomcat7
[/sourcecode]
[sourcecode] ps aux | grep tomcat [/sourcecode] [sourcecode] cat /proc/<pid>/limits Max open files 1024 1024 files [/sourcecode]And after the setting (and reboot) it was:[sourcecode language="csharp"] Max open files 16384 16384 files [/sourcecode]
