+ | ===== Maximum Open Files ===== | ||
+ | **Question: | ||
+ | Why am I seeing '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Answer: | ||
+ | You need to increase your maximum number of open files. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To determine your open file limit, when logged in as the user Synchronet runs as, use the commands below. The hard limit is the systemwide limit, and the soft limit is one that a user can raise (up to the hard limit). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Soft limit: '' | ||
+ | Hard limit: '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | To alleviate the ERROR 24 problem on Linux, edit ''/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | To raise the soft limit up to the hard limit for your Synchronet user, it is recommended to add this line: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <file limits.conf> | ||
+ | yourBBSuser | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are still receiving ERROR 24, try raising both limits for all users by adding these lines instead: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <file limits.conf> | ||
