I have got "Too many open files" error on my server and after checking lsof I found huge number opened files for error logs. Code: lsof | grep /var/log/ispconfig | wc -l 150582 The server have ~ 1200 virtual hosts. One line looks like this Code: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME apache2 30294 www-data 615w REG 251,0 3276350 10237337 /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/myhost/error.log and there are ~ 150 lines like this for single vhost. What could cause this?
Apache opens a file handle for each error.log file of the vhosts. There are two options: a) Increase the max open file handles in your server. b) comment out the error.log directive in the apache vhost template in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf/ and resync all vhosts. This will disable the individual error logging for the vhosts.
Thanks, we will consider the options. But is it normal to have 150 opened handles for a single log file? It seems huge number to me.
