I have started to get this message coming up on a fairly regular basis now.<br><br>I have an application that is very simple and has run by and large without problem for about 7 months. But over the pas 4 - 6 weeks has started to produce this error 'too many file descriptors in select'. The application basically falls over at this point, since it can't service any more requests.<br>
<br>I am running on Windows XP sp2, python 2.4.4, twisted 2.5.<br><br>The application consists of about 150+ vehicles sending back gps tracks every 20 seconds. We collect these, log them, store them in a database and then update a current status. So nothing very elaborate.<br>
<br>I have been through the archives to search for some help and have found some discussion of the problem going back to 2004, but nothing that looks like something I could get a handle on to solving my problem. In fact most of the information seems rather inconclusive especially with regard to Windows.<br>
<br>If there is a 'so-called solution' with an update or some sort of workround- that would be great. Or is it a practical proposition to attempt to trap the error myself and potentially restart the service or the whole application. Or is there a different and better path to take.<br>
<br>Of course I am not sure how I would get in to pick up the exception and deal with it. So if that is a starter I wouldn't object to some help on that.<br><br>Anyway thanks for any feedback.<br><br>John Aherne<br><br>
