HI, I’m using version: ‘nginx version: nginx/1.1.0’ While uploading file I’m getting an error: ‘500 Internal Server Error’ This is an nginx.log result: * * * ## 2011/09/01 10:39:49 [alert] 28764#0: accept() failed (24: Too many open files) 2011/09/01 10:39:49 [alert] 28764#0: accept() failed (24: Too many open files) 2011/09/01 10:39:49 [alert] 28764#0: accept() failed (24: Too many open files) 2011/09/01 10:39:49 [alert] 28764#0: accept() failed (24: Too many open files) 2011/09/01 10:39:49 [alert] 28764#0: \*13013 socket() failed (24: Too many open files) while connecting to upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: 192.168.0.222, request: “POST /upload HTTP/1.0”, upstream: “[http://127.0.0.1:80/upload](http://127.0.0.1:80/upload)”, host: “localhost”, referrer: “[http://192.168.0.222/CRM/upload4.html](http://192.168.0.222/CRM/upload4.html)” 2011/09/01 10:39:49 [crit] 28764#0: \*13013 open() “/var/www/50x.html” failed (24: Too many open files), client: 127.0.0.1, server: 192.168.0.222, request: “POST /upload HTTP/1.0”, upstream: “[http://127.0.0.1:80/upload](http://127.0.0.1:80/upload)”, host: “localhost”, referrer: “[http://192.168.0.222/CRM/upload4.html](http://192.168.0.222/CRM/upload4.html)” The ‘lsof -n | wc -l’ command gives a result: ‘1980’ value. The ‘cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max’ command gives a result: ‘203296’. So it is not a too many open files problem? ## The upload4.html containt: Test upload ## Select files to upload ----- Please help 😉 – best regards Piotr P. ---

I have added a ‘fastcgi\_pass 127.0.0.1:9000’ to a ‘/upload’ location and now I’m getting the ‘No input file specified.’ error on html form and the ‘/var/log/nginx/error.log’ is clear. This is my ‘/upload’ configuration: * * * location /upload { #Pass altered request body to this location upload\_pass @test; #Store files to this directory #The directory is hashed, subdirectories 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 should exist upload\_store /var/www/upload; #Allow uploaded files to be read only by user #upload\_store\_access user:r; upload\_store\_access user:rw group:rw all:r; #Set specified fields in request body upload\_set\_form\_field $upload\_field\_name.name “$upload\_file\_name”; upload\_set\_form\_field $upload\_field\_name.content\_type “$upload\_content\_type”; upload\_set\_form\_field $upload\_field\_name.path “$upload\_tmp\_path”; #Inform backend about hash and size of a file upload\_aggregate\_form\_field “$upload\_field\_name.md5” “$upload\_file\_md5”; upload\_aggregate\_form\_field “$upload\_field\_name.size” “$upload\_file\_size”; upload\_pass\_form\_field “^submit$|^description$”; upload\_cleanup 400 404 499 500-505; fastcgi\_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; } # Pass altered request body to a backend location @test { proxy\_pass [http://localhost:80](http://localhost:80); } ---

you can try to add such line to /etc/security/limits.conf nginx soft nofile 131072 nginx hard nofile 1048576 ## and fastcgi\_pass to run PHP you need to set SCRIPT\_FILENAME, you may first include fastcgi\_params at /etc/nginx (if you install nginx with binary), and then add such line before fastcgi\_pass: fastcgi\_param SCRIPT\_FILENAME $document\_root$fastcgi\_script\_name; Piotr P.
