Forum OpenACS Q&A: Parameters File Maximum Limit!!

Is there any limit to the number of parameters we can have in the ACS ini file? I am facing working on ACS 3.4.10 and am facing this problem. What happens is.. once I add parameters in the ACS ini file and restart the virtual server so that these parameters get sourced... the server just cannot start and it keeps on restarting automatically. But, when I reduce few parameters, the virtual server starts perfectly.

What could cause this? Is there some limit on parameters we can have in ini file?

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

You probably have an error in the ones you are removing. There shouldn't be any practical limit to the number of parameters. Depending on when the error occurs, nothing may show up in the server.log file. Maybe try starting up with the server in the foreground:

/path/to/nsd -ft /path/to/config/nsd.tcl

If you are starting up with daemontools svc command try:

# svc -d /path/to/run
# svc -o /path/to/run
# ps axww|grep readproctitle

The last 400 chars or so of output from the service process will be displayed.
