[Warning] socket_init Issue

[Mystery]

Apparently I get this warning:

socket_init: failed to set socket limit to 16384, setting to maximum allowed (original limit=1024, current limit=1024, maximum allowed=1024, error=unknown).

Anyone know what this means or what causes it? o_O

[Gepard]

$ ulimit -n
1024 // this is limit for the user
$ grep FD_SETSIZE /usr/include/linux/posix_types.h
#define __FD_SETSIZE 1024 // this is your system default

In your case limit is 1024, and #define is 16384, am I right?

centOS right? I've experienced it too unfortunately dunno how to solve it too

[Gepard]

The user running rAthena doesn't have permissions to change open files limit.

Did you change your FD_SETSIZE?

[ngek202]

on my part didn't change those.

The user running rAthena doesn't have permissions to change open files limit. Did you change your FD_SETSIZE?

Where is this FD_SETSIZE? I don't remember changing anything regarding this o_o

[Mystery]

$ ulimit -n
1024 // this is limit for the user
$ grep FD_SETSIZE /usr/include/linux/posix_types.h
#define __FD_SETSIZE 1024 // this is your system default

In your case limit is 1024, and #define is 16384, am I right?

So, I should change 1024 to 16384? And see what happens? Also, is this in mmo?

rAthena uses default values found in system lib, but it's above user limit. You have 2 options:

• change ulimit for rA user
  
• change FD_SETSIZE for rAthena
  
• ignore the warning
  

The last two should have the same outcome. Socket limit will be set to ulimit -n which is 1024 (you don't need more concurrent connections that that, do you?)

No idea Gepard lol.

Secondly, I have no what the file is called to increase such a limit (or the directory).

Finally, if I don't fix this warning, would it cause any issues?

I guess no, unless you have more than 1024 players online at the same time.

No. But as I said earlier, I don't even remember changing this area in the source to even give me this warning o_O.

I get this in the newest trunk and I can't connect to the char server... o_o

I'm having the same issue also. Any way that we could fix this problem?

Just digging up old threads. I found this guide to be helpful and resolved my issue.

Thanks Gepard xD
