I am getting an error about to many open files. I tried to "echo 500000 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max" The number is there now, but I continue to get the error.
Is there something else to do?

----For EL 5? You don't say? # /etc/security/limits.conf # Open File Descriptors * - nofile 8192 --- Just how many do you have open? http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sysctl/fs.txt
There is also a per user basis also.

My advise is to stay way from setting it via /proc. You could still be getting the warning because the system has not read proc very busy machines I have seen this.

Yes, providing detail.
Tell us *what* exactly is giving you that error.
