"Can't create tcp/ip socket (24)" warning message

[Aaron Lamb]

Hello all,

I'm testing the outer limits of how many concurrent connections my dedicated Linux server will do. I get the subject line message on all attempts after the first 999 successful PHP mysqli database connections. I've set max_connections and max_user_connections = 1500 for this test. The reason for setting both to 1500 is because I have a single PHP script (one user) looping through 1500 connection attempts.

Is this an OS limit or some other my.cnf variable that could be easily changed? If so, which one(s) should I be interested in altering, please.

System info:
Linux 2.6.18-53.el5
CPU Intel Quad Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
Memory 2.9GB

I will provide more details on my configuration if anyone can tell me what specifically to be interest in providing.

Thanks in advance.

- Aaron
