    Hi @doru1986 Are you using CloudLinux? If so their documentation on this might be helpful: CloudLinux Documentation If not more detail/information would be helpful Thanks!

    Hi @doru1986 That would entail modifying the ulimit for the user which defaults to 4096 for most users. $ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 7268 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 4096 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited

    Hi @cPanelLauren - instructions at that link appear to be ineffective for some reason... (see )

    If you have already modified ulimit for a user, then you have to logout and login again to apply the changes.

    Hi @APatchworkBoy I was unaware you were running shell fork bomb protection. This would definitely cause customized ulimits to be overwritten. That doesn't make the red hat link invalid though, that is the proper way to modify ulimits when something else isn't interfering. Thanks!
