MySQL 1211: Too many open files.
MySQL 1211: Too many open files.
- Check the current open files limit for the MySQL process:
- Run `SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'openfileslimit';` in MySQL to see the limit.
- Check how many files MySQL is currently using:
- Run `SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Open_files';` in MySQL.
- Increase the open files limit temporarily:
- If you have access and permissions, attempt to increase the limit for the running MySQL instance:
- Set in MySQL: `SET GLOBAL openfileslimit=limit>;` (replace `limit>` with the desired value).
- Check and close unused connections:
- Run `SHOW PROCESSLIST;` to see active connections and consider closing unused ones.
- Check the operating system limit:
- For Linux, run `ulimit -n` to see the maximum number of open file descriptors.
- Increase temporarily with `ulimit -n limit>` for the session, or permanently by editing `/etc/security/limits.conf` (for the specific user, add lines like `mysql soft nofile limit>` and `mysql hard nofile `).
- Restart MySQL Service (if possible and as a last resort after increasing limits):
- Use the command `sudo systemctl restart mysql` on Linux systems. Ensure that this action won’t cause unacceptable downtime for your applications.
- Check and adjust the `tableopencache` variable if necessary:
- First, see the current value: `SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'tableopencache';`.
- Adjust if necessary: `SET GLOBAL tableopencache=;`.
Each action should be considered and performed based on the user's environment and with awareness of any potential impact on the system or service.
