I keep getting this error in nginx/error.log
and its driving me nuts:
8096 worker_connections exceed open file resource limit: 1024
I've tried everything I can think of and cant figure out what is limiting nginx here. Can you tell what am I missing?
nginx.conf
has this:
worker_processes 4;
events {
worker_connections 8096;
multi_accept on;
use epoll;
}
I changed my system's Ulimit in security/limits.conf
like this:
# This is added for Open File Limit Increase
* hard nofile 199680
* soft nofile 65535
root hard nofile 65536
root soft nofile 32768
# This is added for Nginx User
nginx hard nofile 199680
nginx soft nofile 65535
It was still showing the error. So I also tried editing /etc/default/nginx
and added this line:
ULIMIT="-n 65535"
It is still showing the same error. Can't figure out what is limiting the nginx worker connection to only 1024. Can you point me out?
I've got Debian 7 + nginx
Set
worker_rlimit_nofile 65535;
in nginx.conf within the main context.Become the user:
