Question about nginx, slowloris and fastcgi

Hi,

i am new to Nginx and I am testing the latest stable Nginx as webserver
with slowloris.
When I test slowloris on my php enabled website I see Nginx running to
100% and get the following error:

500 Internal Server Error

I don’t think Nginx crashes (although the 100% cpu concerns me) but I
think fastcgi/php is crashing.

Are other people using Nginx and fastcgi/php are also experiencing this
behaviour and is there a fix to ensure that my website is still running
when slowloris is checking?

Kind regards,

Michiel

What’s in error_log?

Symptoms suggest that you’ve run out of file descriptors in your
OS. At start nginx tries to warn you about the problem if
worker_connections are more than open file resource limit, but
even this isn’t enough (since every connection usually allocates at
leas 2 file descriptors, and system-wide limit for all processes
isn’t taken into account).
