Solution

  • You ran out of sockets.

    This could be because:

    1) Your application opened too many sockets. You can raise this limit via ulimit or similar.

    2) You are leaking open connections. It is possible that your application is not closing requests in certain cases, causing your machine to run out of sockets. If this is the case, eventually you will hit the limit even if you raise it.
