too many open files

[advegav]

I found the solution for the same problem on my environment, ( Solaris
10 ) here:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-nginx-too-many-open-files/

Quoting:

....

"Then open the nginx configuration file (default: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf)
and the following line right after the “worker_processes” entry
line

    worker_rlimit_nofile 20480;

Once both changes are made, run the Nginx lint to make sure no errors
have been introduced:

    # nginx -t
    2010/11/01 17:07:46 [info] 9520#0: the configuration file
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
    2010/11/01 17:07:46 [info] 9520#0: the configuration file
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf was tested successfully

and then restart Nginx"

Thank to them I solved my problem :-)
hope this helps...
