Description

I'm using MoinMoin Release 1.5.7 running on a Linux server in LAN. I'm the only one accessing this Wiki. After few days I'm getting [Errno 24] Too many open files during any access to Wiki.

Steps to reproduce

1. run MoinMoin standalone

2. work (create/edit) pages for few days

Example

IOError 

[Errno 24] Too many open files: 'data/user/1172435003.16.3551'

    * args = (24, 'Too many open files')
    * errno = 24
    * filename = 'data/user/1172435003.16.3551'
    * strerror = 'Too many open files'

    * Platform: Linux samwise 2.6.15-26-server #1 SMP Thu Aug 3 04:09:15 UTC 2006 i686
    * Python: Python 2.4.3 (/usr/bin/python)

Workaround

1. stop MoinMoin

2. start it again

Waiting as described in MoinMoinBugs/TooManyFilesAreOpen do not help.

Discussion

Thank you for the fast response and URL provided. I implemented the decode/encode parameters and so far, the number of open files is not growing.

• Status: I guess this is fixed by http://hg.thinkmo.de/moin/1.5?cs=4b9425f89248, can you test it?
