Q: Needed to know/change my file descriptors to at least 1024.

A: Can determine size by issuing the limit command at the shell. Can also
look at sysconfig -q proc.

Thanks to Sean for the below response:

Hi Ed-

Have you tweaked your kernel according to the digital ias site
recommendations for webservers:

(www.digital.com/info/internet/document/ias/tuning.html)

A lot of that is controlled by such things as the maxusers
parameter and max-proc-per-thread. If you do a sysconfig -q proc
what are the open-max-{hard,soft} values. Also, if you type limit
in a terminal what to do you see as max descriptors. dxkerneltuner
may come in handy. How are you launching the webserver, if you
are firing it up from within a korn shell (you can add a ulimit)
call to the script.

Hope this helps,
Sean
