How to avoid "too many files open" issue with SearchBlox in Linux OS?

If this error is observed in index.log or status.log it is required to increase the ulimit.

• Check the ulimit using the command:
  ulimit -n
• Edit the limits.conf file using the command:
  vi /etc/security/limits.conf
• Give the following in the file before the end of file

Text

* soft nofile 100000
* hard nofile 100000

root soft nofile 100000
root hard nofile 100000

• Now you can check the ulimit value using the command:
  ulimit -n
• ulimit value should be 100000 or higher
• Please reboot after this change.
