Hello ,
you have to change kernal parameters, like this;

shmmax = 2147483648 (To verify, execute: cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax)
shmmni = 4096 (To verify, execute: cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni)
shmall = 2097152 (To verify, execute: cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmall)
shmmin = 1 (To verify, execute: ipcs -lm |grep "min seg size")
shmseg = 10 (It's hardcoded in the kernel - the default is much higher)

semmsl = 250 (To verify, execute: cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem | awk '{print 
$1}')
semmns = 32000 (To verify, execute: cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem | awk 
'{print $2}')
semopm = 100 (To verify, execute: cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem | awk '{print 
$3}')
semmni = 128 (To verify, execute: cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem | awk '{print 
$4}')

file-max = 65536 (To verify, execute: cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max)

ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
(To verify, execute: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range)

may it be easy.........

There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.
