Some operating systems have problems due to a lack of file descriptors.
This can cause sites with large numbers of virtual hosts to fail, especially if more descriptors are used for multiple log files or when using Listen . This problem can usually be reduced by increasing the number of descriptors allowed per process. In addition Solaris 2 has a specific problem meaning that it cannot use more than access file descriptors above 256 as streams. The next release of Apache will incorporate code to alleviate these problems. This code will attempt to leave a few file descriptors available for libraries that cannot use high-numbered descriptors.
