Intermittent Errors

[Tom]

I have been getting a bunch of error reports e-mailed to me and some users have complained but whenever I check everything seems to be fine:

Database error in vBulletin: Invalid SQL: UPDATE user SET lastactivity=988167361 WHERE userid=195
mysql error: Can't open file: 'user.ISM'. (errno: 24)
mysql error number: 1016

Database error in vBulletin: Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM replacement ORDER BY replacementid DESC

Database error in vBulletin: Invalid SQL: UPDATE session SET userid=195,lastactivity=988167334,location='' WHERE sessionid=18884
mysql error: Can't open file: 'session.ISM'. (errno: 24)
mysql error number: 1016
Date: Tuesday 24th of April 2001 09:55:34 PM

Does anyone know what these mean? What is causing this?

(errno: 24)
Error 24 comes from having too many open files which is an OS setting. I believe you can recompile the Kernel to up this limit (don't know the setting off hand, sorry). If you don't have a dedicated server, you'll have to talk to your host.
