Linux: limit on open file descriptors

On linux a limit can be imposed on the number of open file descriptors a user can have. You can see the current limit by running the ulimit command:

Code Block
languagebash
> ulimit -a

The limit is given by the setting open files, in the above example 1,024. This is a common default on linux.

Ensure that the user that will run tomcat has a limit of at least 50,000, or is unlimited. Although PhixFlow will generally open only a fraction of 50,000 file descriptors, it is best to ensure that this limit can never be hit since otherwise numerous low level errors can occur.
