Solution 1

To solve this problem for myself, I had to adjust the OS "ulimit" setting:

ulimit -a -- Check current setting

ulimit -n 10000 -- Edit setting value

Solution 2

Just increase the maximum number of files that can be open by the same user within the same session accordingly.

I am trying to make a stress test in my own server using siege with the following command:
```
$ siege -c 500 myweb.com/somefile.php
```
But I get this error:
```
[error] descriptor table full sock.c:119: Too many open files
```
And I get too this warning:
```
libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
```
But I am using Ubuntu 15.04 (Development branch) and I have installed the package libgcc1, so I don't know why it is complaning about that .so shared library.

How I can solve the too many open files and the libgcc warning?

  Seems bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/siege/+bug/1317812. Anyway try to increase the maximum amount of opened files with ulimit -n 10000 or permanently (rtcamp.com/tutorials/linux/increase-open-files-limit).

Yes, you are right. But check the log file anyway
