The error “memcached: Failed to set rlimit for open files<\/code>” can occur when starting the memcached<\/code> service on a Linux system. This error message indicates that the memcached<\/code> service is unable to set the maximum number of open files (also known as file descriptors) allowed for its process.<\/p>\n

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check the current limits on the number of open files by running the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n
    <\/div>\n
    ulimit<\/span> -n
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    This will show the current limit on the number of open files for your system.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Modify the limits on the number of open files by adding the following line to the \/etc\/security\/limits.conf<\/code> file:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
      <\/div>\n
      *<\/span> soft nofile 65536
      \n*<\/span> hard nofile 65536
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Note that the values 65536<\/code> can be increased or decreased based on your system’s requirements and resources.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Restart the memcached<\/code> service. You can do this by running the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
        <\/div>\n
        sudo service memcached restart
        \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the “memcached: Failed to set rlimit for open files<\/code>” error and start the memcached<\/code> service on your system without any issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
