Months? MONTHS? So you are not a new *nix user?

The root cause you ask? You must be joking. I mean... how hard is it to interpret "Too many open files"?

Ohhh boy. All you need to do is increase the open file limit in /etc/sysctl.conf and /etc/security/limits.conf.

In my installation I currently have...

... in /etc/sysctl.conf:
fs.file-max = 5049800

... in /etc/security/limits.conf:
*               -       nofile          101062

I assume you used the same nginx.conf like in the old install? So no need for me to mention worker_rlimit_nofile. Right?

Setting/getting file limits is really basic linux system admin knowledge. I don't want to be harsh but not knowing that and going back from a fresh installed Fedora 17 to a backup of Fedora 15 because of the above error is crazy. You need to spend some time educating yourself in how to maintain a *nix system.

And while at it... please take your time to learn how to use Google:

If you don't find the solution in the first 10 or 20 links then I am going to eat xx xxxxx!
