When starting Zope2.3 from the freebsd box, the kernel says : file: table is full.
The kern.maxfiles is set to 1064, does zope really need that many? what number should I need to make zope happy?
I noticed this problem with Zope and FreeBSD a long time ago, and managed to track it down to zserver or python or a python module opening every possible socket number separately on startup (this is from an lsof dump as zserver is starting). The ones it doesn't use get closed somehow, but it sure was a weird thing to see. I've no idea if this is a bug in zserver/python or a bug in FreeBSD, and since it hasn't been causing me any real problems (just the message in the log), I haven't bothered to track it further. I still see the messages though, and I'm now running FreeBSD 4.2S and Zope 2.3.0. --RDM
