ejabberd - Comments for "Maximum connections on Windows Server 2003"

Maybe but I dont think so

Thanks for the additional thoughts :-).

I have investigated the router/firewall angle and am somewhat confident that's not my current bottleneck because I can actually connect to substantially more than 500 users on a different server (ejabberd on Linux) on a different network from the same machines. I realize that's not a completely definitive test but it's the best that I can think to easily implement at the moment.

Further, I found this thread http://www2.nes.ru/jabber/logs/ejabberd@conference.jabber.ru/2006/05/04.... where Aleksey seems to state the cause of my problem:

in case of erl_max_ports limit the error would be "enfile"

I am receiving a "enfile" error. Coupling that with the fact that I get the same results when setting the ERL_MAX_PORTS very low, to say 10, makes me believe that somehow the ERL_MAX_PORTS is not being recognized? Again thanks in advance to any one that can help.

Maybe some restrictive

Maybe some restrictive firewall setting?

Yes, I read it and it helped but not enough.....

Yes, thanks for the tip. I read that post. That's where I got idea for the MaxUserPort Windows configuration change that I implemented on both client and server that I referenced in my post :-)

Unfortunately, I'm not near the 5,000 limit that Tiann referenced. My symptoms are actually a bit different. Tiann could make additional connections to the ejabberd server from other machines. I currently can't. Once I hit the 500 or so limit, I can not make any additional connections period.

I'd be very grateful if anyone has any pointers or other insights.
