Error 500 in "Admin -> Settings -> Full Text Search" (too many open files)

Hi, I have this problem in my RhodeCode server since long time ago.

When I click on “Admin -> Settings -> Full Text Search” I get an Error 500.

I found “error: [Errno 24] Too many open files” in .rccontrol/community-1/community.log

my limits :
ulimit -n
555000

My server:
Ubuntu Linux 16.04 64 bits
8 cores
32 Gb RAM
RhodeCode Enterprise 4.10.5

Any Idea?

Hi,

Yes it means the searcher is too fragmented. Please run the indexer with --optimize flag. We’d also recommend using this method every 5-10th index build.
