I've been facing an issue with Asterisk 13.11.2 on Debian 8 where it's crashing after reaching the limit of open files
bridge_channel.c: Can't create pipe! Try increasing max file descriptors with ulimit -n
I have managed to increase the limit from 65536 to 150000 using the /etc/security/limits.conf
I have added the following:
root soft nofile 150000
root hard nofile 150000
* soft nofile 150000
* hard nofile 150000
The result of ulimit -n is now 150000
When i try check the limit for the Asterisk process cat /proc/xxx/limits
I still get the old limit!
Limit Soft Limit Hard Limit Units
Max cpu time unlimited unlimited seconds
Max file size unlimited unlimited bytes
Max data size unlimited unlimited bytes
Max stack size 8388608 unlimited bytes
Max core file size 0 unlimited bytes
Max resident set unlimited unlimited bytes
Max processes 31945 31945 processes
Max open files 1024 4096 files
Max locked memory 65536 65536 bytes
Max address space unlimited unlimited bytes
Max file locks unlimited unlimited locks
Max pending signals 31945 31945 signals
Max msgqueue size 819200 819200 bytes
Max nice priority 0 0
Max realtime priority 0 0
Max realtime timeout unlimited unlimited us
How to solve this?

If you are usingsystemd, have a look atman systemd.execor online. In case you are using a SysV script, just add theulimit -n <your-number-here>to the top of your script.

@RomeoNinov I guess i didn't mention that I did restart the server for the changes to apply. Didn't work

@TareKhoury is this 64 bit OS? And do you restart it by hand?

If you are using
systemd, have a look at man systemd.exec or online. In case you are using a SysV script, just add the ulimit -n <your-number-here> to the top of your script.– Thomas

Uncomment and change the value of MAXFILES in /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk
ex:
MAXFILES = 150000
