WIN MX7 error: 500 too many files open

[dbeck]

I have a client running Windows 2003 server with CF MX7 and the latest
maintenance on CF. They are receiving the error message "500 too many files
open" after the server has run for a while and pages have been processed. I
don't have the JVM error message from the log but the error also showed up in
the JVM log too.

I suspect there is either an IIS setting or a JVM setting that needs to be
increased to allow for more concurrent open files. Has anyone run into this
before and what do I do to fix it?

Have you tried to setup a low session time-out, such as 20 min.

Have you tried to increase your concurrent connections?

hope this help you.

Thanks for the reply. I don't think either one of those will do it. RIght now
I'm the only user on the server so it shouldn't be a concurrent connections
problem. The session timeout that low would make the application difficult to
use.

I'm guessing its some setting in the JVM. Probably to do with the number of
file descriptors. But I don't know what the setting might be.

Try to install the latest JVM from the Java Site 1.4.2_9 version and point your CFMX from your CF admin to it.

This has fixed many problems to many users.

hope this helps.

HI Alan,

Thanks again. They are running on the latest JVM. Any other ideas?
