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

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.

@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?
