I've been getting errors like the following on an occasional basis for the last week or so. Might it be that we're not yet out of the woods on the server load issue? *Warning*: open(/tmp/sess_d951b98b197c77c47e75c3217ffce7cd, O_RDWR) failed: Too many open files in system (23) in */usr/local/apache/htdocs/w/wiki.phtml* on line *7* *Warning*: Failed opening 'Setup.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in */usr/local/apache/htdocs/w/wiki.phtml* on line *12*
I suspect this is caused not by too much load overall, but by people accessing several of the foreign wikis at once. The APC cache software warns about the problem, since it keeps an open file for each PHP source file, and each wiki uses 20-30 files. I'll kick up that number and restart the server.
I thought I heard someone mention that a page move to an existing redirect was possible? ie if [[A]] redirects to [[B]], then moving [[A]] to [[B]] should give no error message and just overwrite the redirection page at [[B]].
this doesn't seem to be working (I understand our coders have a heavy workload, so I'm not pressing for this urgently -- I'm just wondering if it's *supposed* to be working but isn't.)
