Neo4j WARNING: Max 1024 open files allowed, minimum of 40 000 recommended. See the Neo4j manual

Question

I installed Neo4j on Ubuntu 12.04 using these instructions: http://www.neo4j.org/download/linux

wget -O - http://debian.neo4j.org/neotechnology.gpg.key | apt         


        

Answer 1

As mentioned in this issue comment and fixed by this commit, since Neo4J 3.1,

you can add a line in /etc/default/neo4j:

NEO4J_ULIMIT_NOFILE=60000

to set the ulimit setting (60000 open files) for the service.

There is no need anymore to use /etc/security/limits.conf on debian to set the number of open files.
