Has anyone seen an error like this before ?

org.jruby.rack.RackInitializationException:
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/testapp/WEB-INF/config/environment.rb (Too
many
open files)

Yes! :slight_smile:

What setup are you running on? Does it have an unreasonably low ulimit?

redhat enterprise linux. How do I confirm ulimit ?
ulimit -n

Can you elaborate on when you’re seeing that error? A server that’s been
up for a while and had multiple redeploys perhaps?

yea server was up for a week or two, in production and then just started
throwing these errors. Not sure if there were any redeploys, we usually
stop/start tomcat for new war deployments so probably not.

You should consider raising the limit for max number of files open.
You can probably edit /etc/security/limits.conf and insert something
for the user you’re running the server as with the nofile setting to
something like 32768 and adjust your start scripts to set the limit
accordingly. I’m not sure if redhat enterprise uses /etc/security or
not, but that’s the path I would investigate.

open files (-n) 1024

Ok, there is a bug where we were leaking threads, which could cause this
error. It will be fixed in 1.1.6 final, and you can try it yourself by
building trunk or 1.1.6RC2 tag or downloading one of the nightly builds
from http://jruby.headius.com:8080/hudson in the “dist” project.

Ideally, you should test this ASAP, so if there’s a real problem it
might be fixable in 1.1.6.

Interesting, I did notice that in Jconsole the number of threads were
never
decreasing, is this related? We are on 1.1.4

On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 5:10 AM, Charles Oliver N. <

Saw this again with 1.1.4 is this the same bug ?

Happened after running smooth for about a week again. Didnt get a
chance to
change ulimit yet, what is a safe number to increase this to? Is 4096
enough ?

is there anything we can do to clean up the thread usage aside from
restarting the app server once per week? We are looking to roll out a
new
release probably prior to 1.1.6 being GA (currently in 1.1.4). Will
certainly migrate to 1.1.6 when its out of RC state

Thx

Probably still the same bug :slight_smile: It wasn’t fixed until 1.1.6ish, and then
I think possibly only in RC2. Try 1.1.6RC1, and if that doesn’t resolve
it see if you can pull a nightly build of 1.1.7 from this URL:

If there’s any setting to get Tomcat to reuse threads more, that might
help. Otherwise I’m afraid there’s not really an answer.

Please, please try to confirm you don’t see the problem under a 1.1.7
nightly, so we can be assured it will fix your problem :slight_smile:

thanks charles, are there jruby-compete’s that are built as well for this ?

Also confirmed via lsof that open files for tomcat was 1104, blowing the
default of 1024 out. Raised it to 4096, hopefully prevents the issue
until we can update production.

NOw just gotta fix this IOError :slight_smile:

With the 1.1.6 release, we’ve started to push jruby-complete jars as
well. Happy hunting!
