Excuse my ignorance for I''m a RoR newby.
We have a number of RoR applications running on a server with a cPanel
installation. One of the clients sites went belly up with the error
message:
Errno::EMFILE
Too many open files - socket(2)
Digging a bit I found that the mongrel server had a large number of
sockets open and appears to be leaking them fairly frequently. The
lsof looks like this
mongrel_r 11184 username 193u unix 0xda4fa480 637209350
socket
mongrel_r 11184 username 194u unix 0xf685a680 637408911
socket
mongrel_r 11184 username 195u unix 0xcc2ea3c0 637684747
socket
The application doesn''t do anything explicitly with sockets. As far as
I know the RoR installation is standard - from what I understand the
hosting company support installed it and RoR is only semi-supported by
cPanel so they''re somewhat reluctant/lack the knowledge to be of much
assistance?
I did google searches of every combination of ruby/rails/socket/leak/
cPanel/file descriptor/etc that I could think of and didn''t find
anything. I''m not exactly sure of what versions of ruby/rails/mongrel
we have installed but didn''t find anything about this being a known
issue that had been fixed. I''d warrant a guess that we''re not
running
the bleeding edge at any rate and are likely a few versions behind but
again I''m not entirely sure how ruby is installed/managed under cPanel/
WHM.
Any ideas on where to look further or what the issue could be?
