Too Many Files Open Error

           Summary: Too Many Files Open Error
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.28
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: priyesh.nair@wipro.com
                CC: priyesh.nair@wipro.com


We have a site which is running on Apache Webserver, Weblogic App server. We 
have two instances of Apache runing on two separte boxes with load balancer. We 
have a user base of around 2000+ users. We start Apache using the 
command "apachectl startssl".

The problem we are facing is after few hours (10-12 hrs) CSS and Images stop 
appaering on the site and JSP pages get distorted since CSS doesn't get loaded. 
When we check the log files at that moment we find lot of error messages 
saying "(24)Too many open files: file permissions deny server access: <actual 
file name>". Only when we restart Apache this problem gets resolved and CSS and 
Images start appearing on the site. So currently we have to restart Apache very 
frequently (almost every 12 hrs).

We tried one option wherein we specified "ulimit -n 8192"  inside "apachectl" 
file and restarted Apache. But still the problem exists.

Please help us in resolving this issue.

Some standard entries in our httpd.conf file is given below:

Timeout 300
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 15
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
StartServers 5
MaxClients 250
MaxRequestsPerChild 10000
