[rabbitmq-discuss] limits.conf not working...

Wed Apr 18 10:56:36 BST 2012

Hello again,

I have been trying to figure out why the File Descriptor Limit is different
on the management plugin site than the ulimit -n output for the rabbitmq
user, which is the same as the value of the limits.conf file I've edited.

In another machine, same system different rabbit version (2.7.1 insteasd of
2.8.1) it worked perfectly.
Simon said that the version could not be the problem.

"No. RabbitMQ only ever *reports* on the FD limits it is seeing, it doesn't
impose any more. And this code has not changed from 2.7.1 to 2.8.1"
*
*
I can't scratch my head any longer...

Has anyone had this problem before? Any thoughts?

Thanks!
