Re: [SLE] Permission Problem

Thanks for the reply. The problem was the number of open files limit. Once I increased that tinker installed as root. I am running it as a user as I write this note. Thanks, again. On Wednesday May 11, 2005 01:08 pm, Jerry Feldman wrote:

Another problem, about which I have no clue, is that i get a message from the installer:

'install4j

An error occurred:

java.io.IOException:  Too many open files Error log: /tm//install4jError19740log'

This causes the installer to bomb at about 70% completion (I tried running the installer as root one time, although I wasn't happy doing that).

Linux (and Unix and other OSs), have limits on the number of open files. Use the ulimit(3) command to both examine and set these limits. gaf@sauron:~> ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 stack size (kbytes, -s) unlimited cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 4031 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited

You will not be able to change the number of open files as a regular user, but you can as root, which is another reason to run the install as root. The ulimit command can be used to set these parameters).
