Siege: descriptor table full sock.c:119: Too many open files

Solution 1:

To solve this problem for myself, I had to adjust the OS "ulimit" setting:

ulimit -a -- Check current setting

ulimit -n 10000 -- Edit setting value

Solution 2:

Just increase the maximum number of files that can be open by the same user within the same session accordingly.
