out of file descriptors... mystery

[Randy Melder]

Group,

I tried up'ing my qty of file descriptors because Apache won't start
after about 547 virtual hosts.  I thought I up'd my file-max, but it's
not helping. My analysis shows that I have 200000 available files and
I have 832 open. However, Apache won't start unless I comment out the
ErrorLog and AccessLog lines in the virtual host directives. The file
paths are all correct and there are no syntax errors in the virtual
hosts. I can add more virtual hosts as long as they do not reference
log files.

Recon:

[root at localhost ~]# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
200000

[root at localhost ~]# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
832     0       200000

[root at localhost ~]# lsof | wc -l
2315

Am I totally barking up the wrong tree? Help?
