I have a new installation of Zope on a Solaris machine with the following software versions: Solaris 2.9 Python 2.3.4 Zope 2.7.0 Plone 2.0.3 Error messages similar to the following crop up in a relatively short amount of time: 2004-06-21T15:59:03 ERROR(200) SiteError http://test:8080/cio/favicon.ico/inde x_html Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/Zope-2.7/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py", line 100, in publish File "/opt/Zope-2.7/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py", line 88, in mapply File "/opt/Zope-2.7/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py", line 40, in call_object File "/opt/zope/Products/CMFCore/FSFile.py", line 91, in index_html File "/opt/zope/Products/CMFCore/FSObject.py", line 115, in _updateFromFS File "/opt/zope/Products/CMFCore/FSFile.py", line 69, in _readFile IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/opt/zope/Products/CMFPlone/skins/plon e_images/favicon.ico' I have increased the max descriptors to 1024 which only delays the problem by a couple of minutes. Oddly enough the problem clears itself after three hours of minimal use otherwise I have to restart to clear it. Any suggestions, obvious or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated. Sean --
