Hi,
We are running a couple of webapps on the same tomcat instance. We are using apache web server along with the mod_jk connector to forward requests to tomcat.

A couple of weeks ago we had a situation where the tomcat process ran out of file connections (we got an error of the sort "too many open files"). I dont have the exact error on me, but as per our developer, as a security measure linux restricts the number of connections (files, sockets, etc) a process can use and the default is 1024.

The number of open connections can be viewed using the command
lsof -p <pid>

We had to restart the server at that point, and have been monitoring this ever since. I now see that the number is creeping up again, and I have noticed many entries of the following type jsvc 26517 tomcat 90u sock 0,5 6921708 can't identify protocol

Can anyone identify what this "can't identify protocol" means? There are quite a few of them and I am wondering if this is causing the problem when the server is running for a while.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Riz.
