Re: [squid-users] file descriptor

my squid stars with the following command
/opt/squid/bin/squid
i have added this line to the following file
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
i have also added the ulimit command to the same file, so that when ever i
reboot my machine this file will run before the squid command.
but still i see 1024 in the cache.log file.
anyway, can u please guide me solve this problem, and what is the link for
the FAQ so that i can check it.
Regards,
Alex

Did you also set the ulimit before starting Squid?

All of this is explained in detail in the FAQ.
