Too many files open

[emil]

Hi guys, I have a big cpanel server with around 7000 accounts and sudden I got the too many files open error when starting apache. Ulimit is completly ignored, so probably is fr om cloudlinux limit. How can this lim it be increased/disabled?

I think I have run into a similar issue before. I believe it ended up being the file system limits. Take a look through this post: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-i...of-open-files/
