RE: Socket Accept() error occurred in QHTTP (classic server)

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Believe me, I would move if I could--this machine is a V4R5 system on the
old 170--we are ordering a new i5 520 rack mounted system--but that process
is taking a while.
The strange thing is, it is happening more and more. First is was one time,
then about a month later, then a week later, now every 3 or so days.
In all but one instance, however, it has occurred during the evening hours
when traffic is at its lowest. 
Again, Apache can't come soon enough for me--but its out of my hands for
now.

Bob,

When traffic grew to a certain level, we were seeing server crashes
under the Original server as well. I'm pretty sure this is the message
we were seeing but I'm not 100% sure since it's been a couple of years.
The way I solved it was to move to the Apache based server.

In the couple of years I've been using it, it has yet to crash or suffer
any of the intermittent performance problems we used to get with the
Original server. If you're on V5R1 or newer, it's time to convert over
(just don't use the Migration Wizard to do it).

Periodically over the last several weeks, my web server has been
"crashing".
In all cases, the common fact is that the main server job is generating
the
following error over and over to the point where the Joblog wraps.
 
"A socket Accept() error occurred.  An error timer was started.  Refer
to 
  the server error log for additional information. Errno: -Too many open

  files for this process.-"                                       
 
Any idea what I need to be looking at? I suppose it could actually be an
intermittent hardware problem.
